Hi folks.
I currently have a 65gal display with a 30gal sump (1/2 full) and I’m thinking of ways to increase the overall water volume of my system.

I do not have a basement, however I do have a 4 ft crawl space under my house.

I’ve been thinking about the possibility of putting a large completely enclosed container of some sort in my crawl space. I live in PA so I’m going to need to heat it and certainly have a return pump.

What ideas do you have for the container itself? It would need to be collapsible or perhaps build from pond liners or something since access to the crawl space is small.

I do have an Apex so I could set up controls to monitor pump, heater, levels. Thanks
 
I'm plumbing in a 40b as a frag tank to my 75g display tank, just a idea 4 ya!
