So when we bought our tank it had a sump, a HOB filter, and a canister filter. After talking to a man at a fish store, not an employee just a customer, I just ran the canister filter and ordered new filters and carbon. I pulled the sump off and just ran the canister filter and ordered a good protein skimmer.
Now I'm reading and canister filters are bad and sumps are good. I have no idea how to set up this sump though. And it's a homemade sump with no overflow so they said if the power goes out it'll overflow so is there a way we can fix that? The nitrates are high in my tank so I'm thinking that's because of the filter I'm running since I haven't changed my media yet. I tested my nitrites and they tested at >.03 but ran out of ammonia tester.
Is there any good sites or YouTube videos to help?
