Cleans up the tank if nothing else I believe there is a bit more evaporation with a sump but I cover up to 2/3 with acrilic both sump and tank. THere is still air to water surface contact and it is open on both ends. just water condences on the glass or arclrllic and drips back in to the tank mimics Rain you get wat more air injected into the water that way. If a skimmer can't inject enough air then I don't know what can.LOL LOL...believe me I am a king at procrastination I'll go into lets just say a LFS and gazz at fish and corals leave and come back 3 or 4 time before I buy anything and by then what I wanted will have been iether bought or put on hold.

Nice to hear I would put it down stairs and do a tat long wall of your in a all reef tank.
Just go as large as you are comfortable in doing so, remember you still have to look after the thing you dan't want to have to put on scuba gear to clean your tank or move some thing around.

Leah I would love to be able to turn my in ground pool into a reef but the heating bill in the winter would kill me, even if I could heat with wood one season would kill me. Too much wood to go cut chop and pile, But swimming with your fishes would be the ultimate reefing hobby.
