Sump advice needed

Hey reef fam. I was planning on getting a 100 gal. sump for my 180. My 180 isn't drilled and is tempered. Are there any sumps yal recommend that will work with a hang on back overflow? Is 100 gal too much? I plan to have filter sock or roller then refugium and protein skimmer. Is there any setup that would work good for my situation. Thanks everyone :)

Yes, 100 gallons is overrkill... 40-50 gallons is plenty.

Ok thanks. So for that size did you have any that you personally know would work with my setup?

Most external sumps will work with any kind of setup - just depends on how you want to plumb it.

I would hope so lol. What I'm leaning towards is the layout/setup. I've seen many sump on here that arranged in a design thats kinda difficult to access or even clean. Plus the wrong size compartments. What is a nice sump that has an even ratio of compartments to fit the items I'm asking plus enough space that I can access or add more to it if needed while still in the 40-60gallon range. Thanks for your help.

The Trigger sumps are really nice, but you can find a lot of good examples on R2R as well.
