Can someone explain to me just what a Sump is for, how it should be setup and how it works without somehow flooding your entire floor.
Are these being used instead of filters now?
Are these only used on these "reef ready" tanks i keep hearing about or can these be used on normal tanks too?
Do the hang on Skimmers go on the sump boxes instead of the tank?
Can someone post some pics explaining all the stuff I'm seeing. I'm seeing ones with balls, ones with sand, ones with 2 tubes, ones with 4 tubes. I'm just getting to where I want to start my first tank but Sumps seem so complex it may be better for me to just start with a simple skimmer/filter
Most of the sumps I see look like they're mounted under the tank and if so I don't see how all the water just doesn't run out.
