In-depth review on sumps and how YOU can accomplish the same great results! Check out why a sump set up is......in my opinion, the BEST all around filtration system bar none.

The shear volume a sump contains allows for a variety of different media of your choice. They attribute to a high oxygen level and unmatched gas exchange due to the turbulent water moving through the pipes to and from the display tank, in addition to the amount of surface are in each section. With little to no maintenance required, is a win-win for me.

My 300 gallon tank for example, I spend roughly ONE minute per week on maintenance- which is the time it takes me to swap out two filter socks. Every 2.5 - 3 weeks I will change out the bed matting sheets, which is also just a couple minutes of my time. The highlight to my sump design is the aquaponics system and MOST importantly, the Constant Drip System....which has been a game changer. No manual water changes have been done since its installation, and the results are phenomenal.

The majority of my sumps are DIY, I like to customize to my liking. It is not as tough as you may think! Give it a try!
