Plumbing question

I think most of us on here started out with cannister filters. Most of us now have sumps. Might as well do it right from the start. Sumps are much easier to do things with and add new equipment with as you get more advanced in the hobby.

I agree for a sump is better for someone in the hobby, however, if this is just for display in an office, then a closed system may be a better option.

6'x16" tank, still lots of room below for a sump. Build a metal stand with custom sump.
