Just picked up a drilled out 155. Drilled om two sides with overflow things lol, has a white pipe with a red switch thing on each side as well as a smaller black tubing on each side...... Now I'm going ton make a sump for this tank, it's going to be freshwater..... Now my questions are basically how would be the best/cost efficient way of doing this. Should i run two sumps underneath it? Should I run one? What size pumps should I use, do I make a drip tray for carbon? Completely new to using sumps so some direction would be nice! Thank you
Sump for 155

go with one sump as dual could cause issues with one filling more then the other due to pumps not running at identical speeds. As for pumps aim for around 8 times the aquariums volume so a pump around the 1300gph will do well (allow for head height). I'd run a wet/dry sump and wouldnt use carbon unless removing meds. there are plenty of builds thread out there just do a search.
if you want to run more than 1 sump they must be linked together with only 1 return pump location
