Hello, I recently got a 60 gallon cube that came with an ECD sump. The sump is 18x18x16 and I was just wondering if that is big enough. It is used so someone did use it this way but I wanted to get other opinions. As far as space in the stand goes it’s about maxed out other than height. Could definitely go taller but not much as far as length or width.

I'm going to bump this for you, I'm sure others could tell you for sure, but I think you'll be fine.

Generally, I think length and width are more important than height in a sump, if that helps 🙂

Best of luck!
