    Have a used All Glass Megaflow sump, it's acrylic. I don't know the history and am wondering if it was ever used with a tank treated with copper. Is there any way to tell? If it was, what is the downside?

    Sump thoughts have me up in the middle of the night

    The thought of having an overflow has me worried. I thought I was set, I thought I was ready, but the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a sump with protein skimmer, heaters, etc inside instead of a canister and having everything in the tank. I was going to buy a Fluval 404...
