You can buy a cannister filter and put LR rubble and sand in it and make it into a refugium/ sump? Natural filtration, and if you have left over room maybe some carbon

But asko someone else first haha, thats just a newbies idea.

hey that sounds good to me! since i cant find an actual sump or anything that will fit into the stand!

i deffinately dont want to build one, i'm not very good at that kind of stuff.

must be.... plus i'm short and my tank is on a counter in my living room. it's hard to hold the jugs of water almost above my head!

oh well, it looks like its relaxing but i'm not going to sigh in relief just yet.

Just a thought that might help with w/c. Get a small pump, go to hardware store and buy a hose to fit, right length to reach tank from jug. Use to fill tank, it will go slowly and hopefully not disturb sandbed, less shock to system, and you won't have to hold above your head.
