    Thinking of having a sump

    Never had a sump on my tanks and am looking to maybe have one with a dsb and some cheeto is it worth it on a nano ? I know I need a tank and a pump, don't know what size the pump needs to be or what else I might need.I want to keep cheeto or something like that but am a little worried if I put it in my main tank it will take over

    you don't want cheeto in a main tank m8 .....have a look at this:

    you would need to drill a couple of holes for it to work or get a hang over weir on the back of the tank

    not seen that type of sump before can it be brought as a kit? the last thing I want to do is drill any holes as much as I would sooner go that way
