Ok well here it goes im new to the whole sump thing i was wondering what i should do for a 36g bow front salt water tank.....?? sould i use a sump and how big??
should i use a skimmer and a sump if so what type ??
and what all equipment do i need for a sump?
will a 10g work for a sump?

if you do use a sump i would think you swould end up useing some thing like this.
but it is probly fine to use a cannester and an internal or HOB(hang on back) skimmer

i believe that the bamboo is there for the good of the bamboo not the tank.

Plants take in nitrates and phosphate. Same idea as an algae scrubber.
