Aquarium Advice Regular
My 55 gallon has no sump, and I've been considering adding one on. First of all, how important is a sump? Is an overflow box really neccesary? couldn't I just pump the water out of the aquarium and into the sump with a hose connected to a powerhead, and then use a more powerful powerhead to pump the return line to account for gravity? or would I end up overflowing my sump doing this? how large of a sump should i have for a 55g?
