10 gallon tank with/without sump

[assafelbaz]

Hi.

Is it good to have a sump tank as a filter also for 10 gallon aquarium?
For my 75 gallon aquarium i am going to build one, but i would like to have an advise of which overflow box to buy. Is it matter (size of my tank) or not?

Thank you.

If you really want to, then sure. Its not necessary, though, as live rock and CUC tend to do pretty good in smaller tanks. But if you want to, then go for it.

What is a CUC?

Clean up crew. All your snails, crabs, starfish, along with the guys you didnt buy like bristleworms, pods and bacteria.

OK, bristleworms looks pretty scary, pods and bacteria, how can they be sold? And what they are good for?

Pods come on rock and breed, bacteria grows on any surface it can. Bristleworms are hitchikers on rock and coral. Warning: dont touch them.
