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. :)
