sump size for 75 gallon tank

[scunfcu]

What is minimum sump size that I would need for 75 gallon tank? 10,20 or higher?

Um. i would say get the biggest one that you can fit in the area. I would think that a 10 or 20 even is too small. And also depends on what you are going to do with it. Will it be fuge/sump or just straight sump? The bigger the more water volume that you have.

Just a berlin sump with sock, skimmer, heater and return pump. Later may add pump for phosphate or cal reactor.

I think people tell u (always) to get the biggest sump that will fit under or on a side of ur tank. More area and volume for circulation. With a bigget sump its easy to have a fuge(very useful).

I vote for biggest also but no fuge for me

Good size but 99 percent of the times the stand would not fit unless custom built.

i got a 36 by 12 from www.protein-skimmer.com that fits just right under my 75. mine is a sump / refugium and it come with a skimmer and lights. hopefully this helps you.its on sale for 299.00 or maybe they can make you a sump.

I got a 29 gallon under mine. But you are really restricted to whatever you can fit into your stand.

Petco has a 1 a gallon sale going on now so you can get a sump for a good price.

Sorry jumping on for a little input. Figure.out exactly what equipment,skimmer,pump/s, fuge etc.. you are going to use and flow rate then get in touch with jeff(custom king). I think it's the best/easiest way to get the most out of the space you have to use. Just my opinion,he makes great stuff and great prices. Personally I cant see myself ever buying a stock made filter of any sort ever again.

A 30 (36"x12") long is ideal. But a 29 will work.

+1 on the 30. Feels like a great fit under a 75gal DT. That's what I'm going with and am very happy
