    When I used to do WC, I would add the water to the DT and add the top off to the sump. IMO, it doesnt make a difference to be honest. Luna

    I prefer to add to the sump because first off its lower and you dont have to lift as high plus don't have to worry about dumping water in and knocking off corals that aren't attached. Also the water temp isn't always the same so adding to sump it kind of blends in better than just dumping it straight in the top. just my thoughts on it.
