Hi All,

I've been running my first saltwater tank sumpless for about 3 months now and the constant oil slick problem is ugly and a real pain! Also, the huge AquaC overflow box (works good for bubbles, but not for the slick), the heater, etc. inside the tank takes up too much room and looks fugly as well. Therefore, I must come to the conclusion that... everyone who told me to go with a sump from the start was right!!! Argh! hehe Oh well, the damage is already done...... but I was thinking about going with a CPR overflow box and adding a small sump under the tank. Is it worth it to go this route or should I start again and buy a drilled tank? Starting again would be a real nuisance but the oil slick and lack of space inside the tank sucks. Anyone have any ideas? The tank is 38G (12" wide) so i'm sure I could fit a 10G sump under the tank. Thanks for your thoughts!
