What is a sump pump and how can it help your reef aquarium?

Sump systems help to declutter your reef aquarium while protecting the fish and other aquatic lifeforms living in it.
Sump systems can be a great way to declutter your reef aquarium while also providing a great filtration system. A sump system exists below your aquarium (underneath the aquarium in a cabinet or even beside the aquarium) and can house all of your filtration equipment. Other benefits of a sump system include:
Water aeration
Waste dilution
Healthy water
Keeping the surface clean of contaminates
Creating less clutter
Water level stability
