Did a sumpless/HOB 50 breeder for 9 1/2 yrs and finally upgraded to a sumped larger reef 2 1/2 yrs ago when I just got tired of spills from the HOB skimmer and overgrown corals. Rescaped /fragged/transferred everything over to new tank over a month and haven’t had any regrets since. So much easier with sump to hold all the gear that we need for stability in one glass box. Tank looks great!
