Sump size

[esparza41577]

So I am completely redoing my tank, going FOWLR. I will have 2 puffers, a lionfish, a trigger and eel, possibly a reef shark. What size sump would work with a 135 gal tank.

As large as possible, you're going to need a huge skimmer.

I am going to get one rated for 200 Gal

I would get a larger one. this is a predator tank and it's going to get messy in there.

 

[esparza41577]

How big would you suggest

 

[cromag27 Verified Sponsor]

300g at least. seriously, predators especially sharks will foul your water fast. one reason why I don't keep sharks anymore.

What kind of shark are you getting? your tank is very small for a shark.

 

[esparza41577]

Just a coral catshark. Min required is 125 gal

When it's a baby. would be wise to think long term however. it will outgrow your tank pretty fast.

I have researched and I have about 2 years, and by then I will have a 300 gal
