If you don't want to have a sump and you want to keep your tank (inside and out) as uncluttered as possible, remote mounted equipment may be the ticket for you. There are a number of pieces of equipment which can be mounted a distance away from your tank. Many of the items below were specifically designed for or can be adapted to remote mounting.
Many In-Sump
Protein Skimmers can be easily adapted.
Most Canister
Filters are designed to adapt easily for remote mounting.
Many of the Combination Wet/Dry
systems can be adapted, also.
Be careful when you are selecting and setting up the components. Some of them require that they be kept at the same level as the tank.
If you have any questions or problems with your set up, the Forums
is a good place to post them or to see if someone else had the same question,
which has already been answered.
