Are there any good articles that explain how to set up a sump... I am going to be doing a 125 gallon tank mainly for saltwater fish, but i am unsure if i should buy a predrilled tank so i can utilize a sump, or just buy a regular tank with no sump... i am a little scared, but dont want to regret later not doing the sump... my LFS is little or no help at all...

definitely use a sump so you can put your skimmer and all equipment in

Read, Read and Read.


And when you think you're ready to by, go to the LFS at closing time and have them walk you through the sump on their buggest setup. See how it's laid out, where you'll run power cords, hoses, how you'll access it to maintain, and eventually replace equipment.

These will all be godsends in the end because you'll have something you can set and forget except for preventative maintenance.
