Welcome to Living Reefs!
A sump is something to think about after you've gotten familar with saltwater systems.Over one pound per gallon of live rock,a good protein skimmer and a couple of powerheads/circulation pumps is all that's needed-like others have already mentioned.The most common sump designs are the three chamber types.One chamber for the protein skimmer,refugium section and a return section.Great for hiding unsightly equipment and as a natural nitrate reduction--i.e. refugium.
