Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

HI guys, Im a proud owner of Fx5 and sun sun canisters filters.... Recently i've been reading up on sumps, which seem way easier to clean and are able to hold more bio media depending on the size of the sump u intend to construct...

Which is a better choice? sumps or canisters? (in terms of biological/mech filtration)


Thanks in advance!

There are a handful of topics on this. Generally doesn't seem worth it, especially if you already have good canisters: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=33365&p=317186&hilit=+sump#p317186
