10gReef Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm setting up a new 90 gallon with three drilled overflows on the back. I want to build a new sump so I can pipe each overflow to it and also have a Refugio/frag tank. I want to use a 20 gallon but cant decide if I want length over height. I'm looking for opinions, ideas, pictures if you have any. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10gReef Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 my stand, the base inside the 2x4 is 15.5" at the widest and 12.5" between the corner post. I plan to box in one end for electrical plugs and timers with access from the outside by a removable panel. On the inside of the box I will hang my brs dossing pumps. At the other end I want to hang my gfo/carbon filter over or nearly over the sump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would mock everything up if you can. Don't forget the skimmer, heater, pump wires, lights, ATO. My problem was when I did put a skimmer in there there I wasn't able to perform maintaince on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogdan Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I just picked up the 20G normal/high over the 20G long just because of the smaller footprint. I think the sale 1G/1$ ends up @ Petco tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
