Better shot of the sump in action. I'm swapping out the frag light today. So, the sump will get cleaned tomorrow with my water change. I use the bio balls as a bubble trap. No micro bubbles in the main tanks. There are three pumps, one for the main tank, one for the softie tank and one for the frag tank. My reason was twofold. I already had the pumps and therefore didn't have to spend money to get a new bigger pump...and...I can isolate anyone of the three main tanks without having to shut the system down.
