Do I need a sump?

[Betroc2]

I am getting a 28 gal. JBJ reef nano. Does this one need to have a sump?:squigglemouth: Can I keep corals in it as is? It has a skimmer, fugium, and MH 150K in it. also will have 2" live sand and lots of live rock from my old tank. Thank you for your time. :bigsmile:

Dumps help but are not required

Ya you don't need to worry about a sump. And the fuge isn't necessary either I would be to small and really wouldn't do anything.

Also don't worry about a think sand bed. In my 28 I put all the rock in first and then filled in the sand just enough to cover the bottom. You can run into some serious problems with thick sand beds. I had an entire tank wiped out because it

Just go ahead and put in the rock with a small sand bed and take out the bio balls if there are any and you should be good!
