Thank you for all of your advice. I was also told that I can use my Rubbermaid Trash Can as a sump. Can you please lead me in the right direction (website) that can describe how to set up this type of system? Thanks Johnnie

Hello Electrikat, thank you for your response. I forgot to mention that I have Test Kits for everything under the sun (was also given to me). I forgot to also mention that I have (4) 20# Bags of Live Sand and inside the ehiem Canister is full to the top with Crushed Coral. It is then topped...
