Hey guys, I am restoring a 37 gallon tall tank I found in good condition someone was tossing out. Turning it rimless.
What is a good size sump for this tank? Any suggested brands?
 
What do you mean by turning it rimless. I would not remove the plastic rim from it if that's what you mean. The rim is there for a reason and you risk tank failure if removed. Rimless tanks have thicker glass and sometimes better silicone to withstand the extra stress of not having a brace.

Well, Im glad I asked because yes, I removed the plastic rims. Thank you for the response!
