Bros and sis,
Wana ask ya, If we have a SUMP we no need to change water or wash the filter inside for years to come?
IS that true. Since somebody asking bout it too~
Thanks for your input.
that also depends bro. there are no such things that sump no need to change waters or any other materials unless you're talking about multiples sump than that the only way you'll not need to change water whole years. Take it examples for the water treatment for INDAH water and looks how they do the water treatment...

Yup, I remember that blue tong canister filter. Problem is, it's huge and quite unsightly.
I thought I'd get a 4ft x 2ft fibre glass tank (that comes with the top filtration) and DIY it to become a sump tank...somehow. Need to do more reading up first.
I'll check out youtube too.
Is sump still the most effective form of filtering? And that aquaphonics is a great idea! Does the water flow back directly into the main tank, or it is filtered somemore? Also, does the tank recieve direct sunlight (for the plants to grow)?
If i were you i'll still suggest you goes for Aquaphonic + sump filteration that the only way for you to make the water filteration + good aeration + fish healthy + get own crops. I've already tested using aquaphonic concepts so far no problems. now I'm thinking to do the sump as well using the current sump which i diy my own using the big tong sampah (black color) still in progress actually. Yes with aquaphonic you can either used lighting or direct from sun also can used. For your knowledge aquaphonic is the best options for you already if you want to save money for water bills and sponge if you're not using any sump filteration and keep on changing water regularly. Now I'm in the 2nd stage for the aquaphonic concepts which also i'm doin using the bigger tank (3 tanks totally) and i belip that it can success. All this i do is in house which is using light which is at my kampung so is not secure for me to do outdoor unless i migrates at my kampung itself. I'll show you my 2nd stage of aquaphonic when i go back to my kampung. but make sure you feed the fish la. budget wise for aquaphonic is depends on your setup and materials for aquaphonic. All i do is diy my own. total cost for me is almost 300 +/- only which is only for 3 tanks (blue - 2 feet x 1 feet = 4 unit 2nd hand cos around 100, pvc pipes and materials, steel bar (i dunno what is the name but i know i buy around 10 pcs x 10 feet at hardware shop), clay pebbles at nursery can buy and best options is larva rocks at fish shop which is cheap.
