Collection: Sumps

Sumps facilitate complete control over the filtration in your reef tank. Many sumps also have extra amenities like dosing line holders, built-in mechanical filtration, and baffles to keep everything neatly arranged. Additionally, they conceal filtration and life support equipment like heaters, protein skimmers, and macro algae refugia. The additional benefit of greater water volume offered by sump pumps might contribute to a more stable system. Given all of this, we at Top Shelf Aquatics advise selecting the biggest sump that will fit in the available area, and have a variety of models to select from.
