Hey everyone,
been thinking about changing my filteration a little bit, starting with a sump. I am currently using a wet/dry filter, I've had it since I got addicted to this hobby, say about 10+ years ago. It was a big thing back then, if you had a w/d filter, with all the filter media and a skimmer. But, now days, everyone seems to have switched to a sump, with a refugium and all sorts of other gadgets. I want to add one to my tank, so I can make my tank run as optimum as possible.
But, really, what is the big difference, both are filters, outside of the refugium, which you can make from a hang on back filter (aquaclear). What is the biggest benefit to having a sump? Also, how easy is it to make a sump?
