Is this a good sump filter choice?

[ryanstrother]

My tank is a 120 gallon aqueon, 4ft by 2ft setup. Im planning on a reef setup and I need a sump. The tank is drilled twice. will i need two sumps or just two intake and output tubes.

im thinking about this one.

is this a good option or would something else accommodate my needs better?


thanks for the input!

You can have two intakes and one sump :)

But i would suggest finding another tank to put under there or a plastic tub. That will allow you design the sections to fit your needs, and wet/dry filters are really old school and dont work as well as just having a skimmer and fuge.

It is cheaper and easier to make your own sump, as Hannah said. You just need an empty tank that will fit in your stand.

what is the standard for a sump filter setup components? any suggestions on brands of pumps / protien skimmers?

For skimmers Reef Octopus are one of the best in their price range. For return pumps Mag-drive and Eheim are very good ones. I've been using a Maxi-jet personally for about a year now without any issues.
