45 Gallon Minimum Sump with a 2" drop in the main tank. 48x12x19.
45 Gallon sump will hold about 90 liters of bio media. 132 sqin mechanical area. 34 liters of mech volume.
60 Gallon Minimum Sump with a 4" drop in the main tank. 48x12x23.
60 Gallon sump will hold 106 liters of bio media. 132 sqin mech area. 39 liters of mech volume.
The dimensions I gave are very important.

They need to be plumbed to the same filter. It will get really squirrely when you have two sumps.
Pretty much a big tank is set up like a smaller tank. The equipment is just bigger.
