Welcome to Reef2Reef! If you can, put in a sump, if you cannot then just make sure you change the canister out often.

Welcome to the "Salty Side"

Sump allows you much greater flexibility with the filtration methods available to you.

Welcome to R2R. Sump definitely. A little more work initially but will save lots of headache down the road. A place for the must have skimmer as opposed to HOB type.

Welcome to Reef2Reef, and to the hobby! I would choose a sump absolutely, see above comments for why.

Yes, this hobby is very costly (not just $ but also time and more time ) but satisfying when things go right. I love my tank.

Welcome and hello to R2R...you can use either but a canister limits you.

But you can have a great tank with a canister you just have to be on your tank husbandry and not mind a few things hanging on the sides lol

Here's my 75g run with a canister, I will be switching to a sump on our next build to have a cleaner look.

Some new AIO tanks don't even need either so definitely check those out!
