Aquarium Advice Freak
I've got a one week old 60 gallon aquarium sitting with live sand and live rock running right now. No live stock at all. For filtration, I have a 60 gallon Eheim canister filter that was $130ish and have been reading more about sumps. My LFS said that a sump isn't necessary, just more convenient so I didn't really research them and just went with the canister.
It's not too late for me to return the canister filter and get my money back and swap over to a sump. The problem is my aquarium stand. The cabinets underneath don't go all the way to the ground - the two doors, and an open space underneath. This isn't very accommodating for a sump setup.
I have an old 20 gallon aquarium that I would love to convert to a sump, but have no place under my main tank to put it. I could also go out and buy a 10 gallon aquarium from Wal-Mart or PetSmart that would fit in the stand, but would a 10 gallon sump be much better than a canister?
I'm confused and don't know what to do!
