Shopping For Filter

[b0bby1]

alrite so here is the situation, on here i have been reading a bunch about 55 gallon to 65 gallon tanks. i plan on gettin one of the two soon and everyone i read about has a sump. i was wondering, are there just hang on filters for that size of a tank instead of the whole hassle i will have to go through to set up a sump? comment bak.
o ya and what would be the average price for a hang on compared to a sump system?

a sump is better because it gives your tank more water volume and less of a chance for error. its also a place you can keep all your stuff like heaters, skimmer, pump, fuge, etc... you can make your own for cheap too...

did u make ur own, i have a 20 gallon in use now that im goin to be taking everything out of once i get my 55. would i be able to use that and how much would it cost to do the whole sump this.
PS i have no idea wut a sump consists of, ive only had a sw tank for not even two months.
