Hello,
I’m thinking about doing a ground up reef tank build, and thinking about 170 gallon tank. I was hoping someone could help me with how big of a sump size in gallons that I need? I heard .25 and .3. The issue is space. I need to find a sump that’s 44” long that’s approx 50 gallons, not sure what company to go with or if I can get away with 40 gal. I plan to do a reef mat, skimmer, and algae scrubber. Any ideas, I just don’t want to DYInsump. Thanks!
