Why does it need a top? Usually they have an overflow tube toward the top of the cup

Cant you epoxy fix the cup? Not like it has pressure in it.i would definitely use the sump

Like imforbis said you can find the info easy for head pressure. Most will tell you the different flow at the head loss at different lengths of pipe or hose.i always liked to run the water through the sump slow.i do most of my water flow with powerheads. In the tank.i always put alot of rock...

Not really sure what you have.can you post a pic? Its an in display tank sump? Or under in the stand? If its an in tank i wouldnt think the skimmer would be big enough for a tank that size.

I have always just run rock alot of flow and water changes weekly or so.just add fish slow.i have used skimmers and didnt see a big difference in anything in the tank.yea it pulls gunk out but wasnt worth the time for me.

If you run a canister imo its still a kind of sump right? Still on the floor with pipes going up and down.hob double wheel filter with alot of lr and flow will work just fine.

I brought in ich on corals. Anything with water on it can.it was a 250 gallon tank what a nightmare.

Sponge

Mine didnt bother them.i would get raw shrimp and cut it into small pieces and feed him from a stick like an eel.also mussels and clam

Mine was a picky eater

A tusk is friendly.just a tough fish to keep and expensive

I had one. Thet are very docile. More scary looking than anything.

Pretty sad when there is more spam then members posting

Either a hitch hiker mantis shrimp or if you have a clown like a tomato they make a clicking noise

Alot of good info here.almost could be a sticky.carry on

I put my 250 on a pier and beam home.just tput the tank along the wall running opposite of the floor boards so it was more sturdy.no problems

Couldnt hurt. If you are getting cured rock it doesnt always give a good first cycle.i would do a shrimp i there for a few days

Once the rock in the tank matures and grows good bacteria in it you wont need the canister.it dont take long as long as you dont dump 5 more fish in at one time.once you get the sump going i would put a couple pads from the canister in the sump.would be smart to keep a small tank around for new...

I dont.the canisters work fine just alot of cleaning.imo they aint worth it.you really cant clean the whole thing out.it holds alot of good bacteria and critters.but if you dont clean it you get rot and nitrates.it will work for now though.i use canisters on quarantine tanks.i put the filters in...

Dont read into having to have all kinds of equipment. The only proven thing imo to keep a healthy tank is time time and more time for the tank to mature.water changes alot of rock and flow.simple.just dont add fish too fast.let the system grow with the stock.i had a 90 gallon running over 10 yrs...
