Katie literally just asked if it's possible to add a second biggish tank and plumb it into the same sump. She really wants a dogface puffer. LIke, really.
Of course, (with tongue in cheek) I said it only really works if you balance the volumes of the two tanks, so it'd have to be at least 125 bit a 180 would be better...
I'm sitting here watching her trying to figure out why that would matter and why they had to match, lol. So I preemptively just said "you have to have consistent backflow through the pump when you shut one system off otherwise you flood the sump chamber and that'd be real bad".
She's even more confused now, lol. I think I might be able to keep that sort of thing up for a couple days before she cottons on
