Thought about that idea, but somebody has already offered to buy the 55. I don't like the sump setup. I've had too many problems with overflowing onto my floor, splashy noise, cat hair buildup inside them, exploding heaters, leaky hoses. I don't think I want to do that with such a large tank. I would much rather go with an enclosed filter that hangs on the back of the tank at a level I can easily reach, or with a decent canister filter that hides out of the way and is completely enclosed as to prevent overflowing in the event of a power outage/cat unplugging cables. I know the great benefits of the sump setup, and have used one on my 55 since I set it up, but I am not liking it in the least bit. I also would like to save myself some money and not have to buy any more salt than I need to. I unfortunately can't order things online right now (**** ATM machine ate my card so I have to order another one) And the largest quantity of salt my LFS sells are in buckets for 50gallons of water at $34.99 RIPOFF!!! But hey, it's all for the fishies.
