ious vs sump

[titustitus]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if an ious system or a sump system is better and any reasons? And will a ious system work well with an external canister filter?

Thanks

Am I a noob? Idk what an ious system is

Not that many people run an internal overflow/underflow filter sump system. That alone should tell you something.

Oh man is it that bad? I thought it wld be ok cos im buying a 422 cabinet tank but sump has been removed and an ious installed. Wanted to add on a gex canister filter to go along with that.

I am not saying that it is bad. Just saying that most people use external sumps. The sump adds additional water volume and surface area to the system. Adding a canister filter is always a good idea.

Ok thanks man, I will consider getting a sump if I manage to learn how to make one

depends on your tank size and what fishes your keeping too. ios is good if you dont have alot of space.
