If i were to make a sump for a S/W aquarium what kind of pump could i use? Any that u can use in a F/W aquarium or does it have to be a different/special one for the saltwater?

:feedback:

Thanks.

You need to select a pump that's listed as being approved for SW use. Generally, these pumps contain stainless steel impeller shafts that can take exposure to high salinity environments.
