I guess my confusion is I don't if I even need a sump. I was at my LFS and noticed one of his display tanks was beatiful; clean and clear water. When I asked him about it, he said he used the Berlin Method and ran carbon through his sump. So, I left there thinking I needed a sump. Right now, I have a HOB filter that has a filter cartridge in it (which I think is making my Nitrate problem worse) and soon I'll be adding a HOB skimmer that I'm building.
