What's a sump??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
are u serious? a sump is a seperate tank under or beside your main tank in which the water overflows into i think the benifits of a sump are its can hold heaps of meadia compared to cannisters while adding extra water volume to your tank
 
I think this topic needs to be a sticky, along with

"CAN I HAVE TOO MUCH FILTRATION?"
