[ohiorn67]

ok new to saltwater and now realizing how much equipment you have in the tank without a tank below. 90 gallon here. remoraC pro skimmer with BIG preskim box in tank, 2 powerheads with 2 more on order, intake and out tube for cannister filter (smallest parts)...just want it all below, it is a bummer to see it all above and my skimmer seems noisy....want quiet relaxing tank and want to keep it easy....if anyone in my area can set this up for me underneath I will pay!! any takers? thanks!

it's actually really easy to set up a sump to house all that stuff. I'm no expert on sumps (you'll have to hope squidd sees this), but it's basically just a plain tank or rubbermaid container with a siphon or drain from the main tank draining into the sump, then a pump to push the water back up into the main tank. you can put all your ugly equipment and stuff in your sump and out of sight! there's lots of extra stuff you can do with a sump, but that's basically it; it adds more water volume, and hides equipment.
