I recently cycled my 30 gallon sw tank. I have since added a clownfish, hermits and snails. The question I have is about the 10 gallon sump I am adding to the tank. I plan on running a skimmer down there and maybe some activated carbon.
If I were to have a hob filter running in the sump, would it even matter? I was thinking in terms of particles in the water but if the hob filter is in the sump, would the effectiveness be reduced to nothing because the overflow wont be picking up any particles in the water. Is this right or am I wrong? If it is true should I just leave the hob filter on the main tank?
Thanks in advance
