I’d like a bit of education on sumps please…

Basically, i was thinking of setting up a sump in the cupboard under my tank. am i right in thinking all i need to do this is;
1) a power head to pump the water out of my tank and into the sump.
2) a tank with glass sheets siliconed into the right places.
3) filter media
4) a power head to pump the water back up to my tank.

Also, this would be for a tropical tank.

is there any point in this other than increasing the water content for the fish and the fact that it will be easier to maintain than a canister filter?

Thanks

please help me, recently i’ve seen my fish has some tiny white spots, it’s like they’re powdered, fortunately not too infected for now.

i bought medicine and of course moved my rcs (shrimp) away since it contains copper. i plan on giving this treatment twice or once daily, everyday until the whole tank got better. btw, rcs are immune to this disease right?

i also planned on increasing the temperature of the tank till 30 – 32 C, is that okay? my fish are platies, zebra danios, and black neons. i hope that they’re all gonna be fine…

is this treatment method right? i’ve done research and decided to do what it said. also, should i change the water as well?

thanks sooo much for helping
