Don't you think a 55 gal sump for a 10 gallon tank is a bit overboard ?
Why go through the expense. A protein skimmer and a HOT mech filter
would be good enough. IMO of course.....

Is it cheating if I put a 55gal Sump/fuge on a 10 gallon nano?

I'm thinking about this for a desk setup at work... I have plenty of
space under my desk...




With nanos evaporation can be a big issue. With a 55 Gal sump, salinity
(and temp!) will be more stable, and i'll have to top off less often.

I recon its a very good idea
should be a nice stable low maintenence tank
for a nano anyway
and if ya can hide the plumbing (go in and out thru bottem bit of glass)
it will look very impressive
