You need a finished basement to put it in

I'd consider it supplemental filtration--like adding a veggie filter to a FW tank. A marine tank without a sump or fuge will still be successful but the idea is to keep the nitrate as low as possible, to keep corals healthy & le$$ water changes. A FOWLR doesn't need the nitrate to be as low as a reef tank though.
