Do you have space for a 20 long? If so, get a 29, same footprint, more dilution!

Why are folks constantly telling people here to sump their tanks? It is a difficult, complicated thing to do & best done with a drilled tank. Not for scaring newbies off, please!
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

theres nothing to a sump. now a days you can get a complete kit with over flow and pump and all for realatively cheap. plus the added benefit of volume and bio load ,, question is why wouldnt we be telling all people to sump?.
i think even you told me ditch my set up for sump. alas i didnt but i added one lol.
any who was just a suggestion lol.
either way your puffs will be happy :)
