[Canister vs sump]

Thank you for the advise. I really appreciate it 

[Canister vs sump]

I am upgrading to a 130ish gallon tank and I am trying to decide what to get.  Should I get a sump setup or a canister?  I currently have a 60 gallon with a fluval canister.  I love the thought of having everything hidden in the sump but I am worried that the sump will be louder than my canister.  Advise please 🙂

You can use a canister the FX series by fluval are pretty beefy. I prefer using sumps, but I suppose it depends on stocking and whether you want to buy a sump or build one. 

Are sumps louder than a canister?
