Bout to try my first sump build. 20 long or 20 high?

Just what it sounds like. Which size tank would be better to cannibalize for my sump, the 20 long or the 20 high? This is going to go on a 150 gallon.

Thanks!

I think logically the 20 long would be better but either way a 20g sump isn't good enough for a 150____

I'm building it largely for practice. I have an FX5, AC110 and Mag350 on the tank already. I want to practice, I have two 20s laying around, so it seems like it could work.

A 20 gallon tank properly partitioned will hold roughly twice the bio of an FX5, so it'll be a good addition, at least. Plus, since I'm fairly handy and have all the stuff here, it'll be a lot cheaper than buying another filter.

Oh okay! I'd still go with the 20 long! Better foot print

My thoughts too, just wanted feedback from the community.

Thanks!
