I use sumps on my tanks as reservoirs to keep the evaporation from showing in the tank. The sump in this case is not a filter and with the way I constructed the 'overflows' there is minimal chance to degas CO2. Wet/drys are intended to do a biological filtration, are they not? That is what we use the plants for so a wet/dry actually competes against the plants.
