375 gallon tank here!

Hey guys! This Monday I should be on my way to pick up my new 375 gallon! This is the footprint: 96 x 31 1/2 x 30 1/2. My question is this, what size sump should I get for this size tank? I used a calculator on one website and I was told 28 gallons minimum, however, having owned a 125g with a 40 gallon sump, this calculation seemed way too low in my opinion. Would a 75 gallon be okay? Thanks for the help!

I think you could get away with using a 75 gallon. It would come down to how you had it set up and what you are using for bio filtration. Just remember, bigger is better.

A 100 would be ideal but it depends on whats going in to the tank and how much media and what kind of media your going to put in.

Sorry for not being more specific. I plan on using the tank as a saltwater FOWLR. My assumption is that I can use the same basic setup for this tank as I did my 125. A three compartment sump with Bioballs, filtration media, skimmer and pump.
