I want to add a sump to my 20g has a flower horn and 2 tire tracks in it. Would like to turn a 10 g into a sump for it any ideas?
Well I want my sump to be below my tank what are the pros and cons? I have a baby flower horn and 2 tire track eels
Terrance said:Pro - dilution of pollution with more water volume and hide heater & other equipment hanging on the rim of your tank; you can get a bigger sump and add a refugium area.
Con - noisy and leak if you don't set up correctly; more hours of researching and planning to set up properly.
