Marineland used to make a similar top with a built in flter but for much smaller tanks.I suspect that filter will probably not be able to handle a decent bio load so I agree with the previous post.
Yeah, a guy was selling the same tank here for $600 on Craigslist with canister filters ect..I would look around first. You can find a better deal somewhere rather then spending 1700 dollars.
Yeah the overhead sump is pretty smallThe filter on top of these tanks are a joke, it won't do it job unless you keep a tiny fish, the flow is weak and the most important part is the price, you WILL get better tank with much cheaper price compare to those cheap tank built made in China.
