You'll be happier with the canister and AC combo. A sump is a great way to go, but I prefer them on drilled tanks with a standpipe like Mark said over the HOB U-tubes.

Only problem was he got stuck and tank flooded. No matter what you do there is always a chance for a disaster.

That FX5 is a beast! Fluval FX5, Fluval 405, and an AC110. Over filtrated maybe? lol
