Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Reefkeeping.com has a good three-part article on their function/setup. While most sumps I've seen have been on saltwater tanks, they can certainly be used on freshwater tanks for many of the same reasons.

edit: we also have a sump subforum in the saltwater section with a ton of information: http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/sump/
