Yeah I use to keep my copepods in the sump so they could thrive without harm and they would get sucked up into the tank. Worked pretty well.

I got tired of the sump noise a few years ago and plumbed the overflow/return through the walls of my house to an outside shed. It was one of those things that I thought about for years and finally did. So awesome! My tank is almost completely soundless now, and I have tons of room and easy of access that I didn't have before in the sump.

Nice. I never had that option. But I do have that filtration system which turned into a great ROI system for my beer water :D
 
That though wall setup is the real deal and the way to go...Are tank was near our TV couch...the wife hated the noise but put up with it to support me which is nice

Yep, it's near the TV. I'll get a pic at some point. It's not that impressive. Like I said, it crashed hard a few months ago and I'm dealing with the fallout still (though the new fish and corals are growing). I think the live rock died off because though I get no algae on the sand and the glass, but it keeps growing back on the rocks.
 
Got a second clown, they appear to be best buds. Also got the sump and protein skimmer up and running. Will either get a blue green chromis or a couple cardinal fish this weekend.

I've had this set up since August 2017 and used to be a lot more into it but lost interest slightly. All I do is fill it with water when it gets low and haven't done a water change in months! All parameters are perfect surprisingly, probably because of my plants. Highly recommend the SunSun filters
