    Canister = sump?

    Hooked up my fx4 on my 75 today and noticed my water level dropped quiet a bit. So if I were to have a fx4 on like a 20 gallon would that basically be a sump? On another topic can anyone recommend me a canister filter for a 20 gallon long? Stock will he f8 puffer and bumblebee gobies.

    Does my FW sump design look good?

    I just picked up a 90 gallon aquarium and it came with a sump setup for SW with a skimmer and I think it would be easier to start over rather than reconfigure it. I'm using a 20 gallon aquarium because unless I make one myself that's all that will fit in my stand. As of right now we are...

    Which Sump Pump ?

    So I have 120 gallon tank with a AquaC EV-240 protein skimmer. I was curious is the Mag-Drive 12 enough or should I get the 18 (Or another model) ?

    265 finished (mostly)

    Picked up a 265 a few months back for 400 bucks due to a leaky seal. After resealing it and months of selecting what fish and what kind of setup I want to run I am finally about complete. Fish are in it and they are happy but I am still fine tuning for the next few weeks. Guess I should list...

    Quiet and Energy Efficient Pump

    I'm in the process of building a wet/dry sump and am looking for a submersible pump that can handle 4,000 to 5,000 gph, while also being relatively quiet (will be operating in a living space) and energy efficient. Obviously, reliability is a plus. Anyone have any suggestions?

    FILTER?? My first tank build!

    I'm finally building my 380 gallon tank! Yay. I'm not sure on wether I want to buy a filter (sump? Canister?) or if it's a better option to make one. What filters do you use/prefer? And any links/thoughts on building one? Greatly appreciated!
