Have an 130x50x50 rimless display tank and I'm thinking about changing to a sump. Main reason is that I really hate my Oase bm600 filter, it sucks in lots of air and its a pain to start up without water leaking from everywhere. Already opened the whole had unit up cleaned everything and put it back to gather it still it a pain in the ass. Also it sits in a rather inconvenient place where I have to tilt the whole thing to its side to get it out for cleaning. Now I alot of air trapped up in the co2 reactor rendering the reactor useless.
So my thoughts where on getting a sump I like the idea of more water volume and easy cleaning access. I would like to use it with an hang on overflow wouldn't want to empty the whole tank for drilling holes..I don't really like the look of them but I will try to hide it behind emersed growing plants or something..
But how is it with noise, I love to listen to music in a quite room free from distracting noises? (Not that it is now with the current air sucking filter.)
What are your thoughts on this should I invest in it or is it a better idea to buy an other canister?
