Sumps increase water volume making the tank more stable.
They provide a place to hide some of the equipment like heaters and skimmers.
They can house an refuge for macro algae which will help stabilize the water more.
The return pump creates flow in the main tank.
They can skim the surface gunk off the main tank.

I think those are the main reasons. I cant think of others right off the top of my head right now.

Looks like you are getting the right help with the Ich already. If you want more people to see something you can always post in the beginners forum since that is a general forum.
