Canisters, good or bad.

I believe it depends on the size of your tank. 6ft and bigger, a sump would be more cost effective. Under 6ft and a canister is probably the best way to go.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! Thanks for being here - if you're willing to share, can you tell us about your tank?

I have run 125 gallon tank for years w Eheim canisters and Hang on skimmer, Sumps are costly and way overpriced in my opinion. Also if you have one often times cannot upgrade other equipment due to baffle dimensions. KNOWLEGE the key, good Luck!

Welcome aboard, with a sump you have room for options, even with a smaller tank.

Welcome to the fray....or you could do neither cannister or sump. Some say I'm crazy others simple. Wait till I say dump the skimmer too....then I am certifiable! ;) ....enjoy, have fun with it most of all, don't be afraid to experiment. What works for some doesn't for others... That's the journey. Quantifying with mine is a 4 ft 90 gal.
