hey i was woundering if i could like convert my cannister into a sump.The cannister is going to be 1200. The plans i have for it are pretty simple.
1st take out all the media trays exept the top one which will catch all the debris and under that i would have either sand with LR or just LR?

which one should i go with?

I guess it would work, but it would basically defeat the main reasons of having a sump. That is increasing water volume to improve stability, increased surface area, and an area to place heaters and skimmer. Just my two cents.
