Hey guys I've been posting here lately about my blenny dying. While I don't think it has anything to do with my filtration system or anything I think I need to upgrade since I've added more stuff to the tank since I bought it. I've got a 55 gallon saltwater. All I'm using is a hang on marineland penguin biowheel 350 filter made for a larger tank. I think that's a lot better than the one that came with it. Something from Wal Mart. Horrible horrible system but some how the tank managed. It's almost 6 years old and I'm pretty sure it had been set up for that long just like that. The only other equipment that's used for the tank is a really cheap protein skimmer. Seriously cheap. Hang on too btw.
I'm ready to get a sump set up. Obviously I'll need to get a overflow box bc the tank set up doesn't have a built in one. What's the best possible way of going about getting a sump proper for my 55 gallon and what kind of protein skimmer. It'd definitely clean up having all the filter and heater and protein skimmer hanging inside the tank. If anyone has anything reliably cheap I could take off therir hands let me know. It's worth asking. Thx for everyones help
