no reason you cant have a sump in the cabinet, might need to cut some holes but you can do it. you dont need a sump but make sure you can get to your equiptment with out moving rocks or stuff

dont buy anymore pumps before you look into alternatives, like tunze streams or seio's, they pump alot more water for the price and give a better type of flow. powerhead type pumps will only give intense flow in one small part of the tank, where as a tunze or seio distribrutes it very evenly over a greater area

if your male has been by its self for any decent length of time then the chances are its a female. they change from sexually immature to male then to female. once the dominant male/female is removed the juvinile/male with mature to the next level

im keen on seeing how t5s affect my acro colours, it wont be a good indicator when i setup my big tank as they are still recovering (should say starting to recover) from the brown out. the tanks that use t5s seem to have a nice edge to them
