id say your sump size should depend on what kind of tank you plan on setting up , fish only , coral/what kind etc....do you need to fit a skimmer and fuge , try to set a goal and plan for it ahead of time

Gonna be a full blown reef. I got a couple biocubes I run and they do great. But wanna make one tank. So fish and corals will be in the new tank. Def gonna have a skimmer. I was thinking of making my own because a 20/30 gallon sump can get expensive lol.

A used trigger sump or similar would be a great choice in my opinion. As large as you can fit under your stand if that’s where you’re sump will be.

I maximize space below, there's never enough space. Below my standard 75 gallon is a 40 breeder (wood frame stand), that fits in the same foot print. If I were to use an iron stand, there would be a 55 gallon tank there. Below my old standard 65 gallon, there was a 38 that fit in the same foot print. Need more space for refugium, frag racks, isolation holding, etc.

The bigger the better in my opinion. The more water volume the more you can do with the display.
