We had a random hanging filter that saved us last night. (Thanks for the offer though!!!) That is on there for now until we decide. Apparently he is leaning towards a MarineLand 220.

Once we decide what to do with our system, would it be better to go the sump route than the filter?

Tell us what you have for equipment now.
Skimmer? brand?
how much LR?
powerheads?
I can say without a doubt don't buy another Canister....but with an equipment list I can surely tell you where to put that money to serve you better.

A sump is a great thing as it adds space for the equipment and more live rock but not a must there are many ways to keep SW aquariums it just happens to be the most common.

Also what are your plans for this tank? Types of Corals, Fish ect.
