Can i get some pictures of your filters please... i hear alot about sumps and canisters and bio balls... and have NO CLUE what you're talking about... anything would be nice
live rock and a protein skimmer, and macroalgae are my filters.
a sump is just an extention of your tank, and a place to put them.
i don't know what good a picture will do without an explanation, but...here's an older photo for ya-
