Im a litle new to the planted tanks also, but If Im not mistaking sumps are bad for planted tanks. They degas the co2 that is vital to plants growth. It seems to be that canister filters are the filters of choice becuase they have the least amount of H2o to air contact and less surface movement. Just a idea to keep in mind
