I was just wondering if I put a 75gal sump on my 220 does that mean that I will have to up my filtration on the thank as well?

I currently have a FX5 and 2 AC110's...
 
I mean it to be an actual sump for my heaters and HOB's I might make it into a wet/dry... but I am actually thinking of throwing in a few boxes of bio max (or similar product) to sit in the bottom but I dont know if that would do anything.
 
No, as long as the other filters keep the ammonia and nitrite at 0 then you're ok.

However, it would be silly to install a sump and not use it as a filter. Since they're so easy to make you might as well.
 
I agree. You should definitely add a wet/dry section. Then you can use the other filters for mechanical filtration.
 
ok thanks guys, how many bio balls do you think I would need?
 
None. use nylon pot scrubbers (usually found at the dollar store:D)
