20 gallon sump on a 75 gallon tank

[csnmusic02]

I have a 75 gallon long tank, its Pre Drilled for sump and I have a spare 20 gallon tank, i was wondering if i make the 20 gallon tank a sump would that be a big enough. Worst case i have a spare xp4 if it be to small.


Thanks
Chris

Yes, that will be just fine. I'm using a 75g sump for my 375g. Granted, I have a built in drain (coupled with an auto top off system), so I'm not worried about low capacity. Generally 1/4 - 1/3 of the display tank capacity is what you're looking for, so a 20g on a 75g is perfect.

I'm running a 20g on a 75g, with a quiet-one 2200
