Hey, I am going to be building a stand for my 29 gal, which is now on an old solid computer desk in my room (hey, I'm 16 :) ) and I was wondering about a sump. I realize my tank is a bit small to be putting a sump on but it just seems like it would be nice from all the things I hear about...

I don't know what to do. I have a 29gal with a clownfish and I had some type of polyp coral until last ngiht. I just started the tank In dec-jan. I did a fishless cycle. Everything was fine. I had 20lbs of live sand, and 3 lbs of live rock (with plans to get more). About 2 days ago, the water...
