Any good plants you guys recommend in your sump that actually serves a good purpose ?
Is it okay to keep a fry or 2 in the sump just till they grow out or does it make the water quality bad

i have a variety of low light plants in my sump as well as several fish. my water is not impacted by them and the plants really help with nitrates

Nice what kind if plants ? And fish ?
I wanted just a single baby ranchu goldfish I saw at the lfs for like 5$ figured I grow it out and get its own tank later
 
i have anubias, hornwort, java fern and moss as well as pothos. for fish i have 3 spot gourami, zebras, platties, and bristlenose. they are all breeding populations except the gouramis. i also have a group of cories and another of khulis

Oh nice That's a big sump then sounds awesome
 
Thanks, I have it split into three sections so the pumps don't get gummed up. I am using poret foam as dividers. I had five sections but the big earthquake we had a while back sloshed them loose and my scuds got devoured so I never put them back on the edges
