Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

agree ... 1.5 ft use sump kinda wasted

Disagreed. I have 1.5ft braceless tank with sump. All equipment like skimmer, return pump, active carbon, FR are in the sump and easier to maintain too.

Agree with James, with sump you also increase the total water volume.

Canister is known to be a nitrate factory after long usage

agree too. have the small display tank and hide the bigger sump. it all just means that the bio load for the tank is very very very minimal due to the size of the display tank and coz the filtration is huge! hehe!
