Make a new sump. Can be done for under $30 I imagine.

How did your cat break a sump? Was it made out of tissue paper?

no lol that would make sense.. She tried to jump through the underside of my tank and hit my overflow hard, it hit the glass and the glass cracked. I wont be doing another sump. And for the record I now dislike my cat.

If that's the worst my cats ever did I'd be a happy man.

I've always liked AquaClear HOBs. In my experience, they don't get loud at all. Maybe that's because I break it down completely and clean it weekly (especially the impeller) when I do a water change.

Well thats true I know, but I'd rather be safe. I dont want to come home to a bunch of dead fish and coral you know? Maybe in the future when I move to a bigger tank I will redo a new sump with a better over flow system. Again guys I know sump sump sump.. I dont want to risk it, I have a aquaclear 110 on now but the flow is mad fast. so I need something smaller lol

I agree with Bev here... but also, you can neglect the heck out of an aquaclear... and in my 'years' of fishkeeping (I've had aquaclears at all times for 16 years... infact since just yesterday is the first time I havent owned one in 16 years), i've never had one get loud unless it had chunks of sand in the impeller, or was running dry.

They are pretty bulletproof, and incredibly easy to clean, and you can stuff just about any media you want in them. Thats why I like them.
