i have a 180 setup, but as my fish have grown my filtration is now subpar ....
i got a got a new wet dry, the sump is somewhere around 55g, and the pump is huge (dont know specs)
can adding another 40g of water into the mix hurt my tank in anyway?
or can i just setup everything, add water to the sump, treat it with dechlor, and turn it on?

*obviously i plan to continue using the canister and HOBs that i have on the tank now for a few weeks as well, until the wet dry gets established

It shouldn't hurt. Just remember to treat the water in the sump and make sure everything matches your display tanks parameters. As long as the sump and the tanks water parameter are fairly similar I don't see how it can hurt. Make sure the return pump isn't too strong also.
