Hog Head Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 If I stay with a 48" sump/refugium, I am thinking about the following: 33 long 48x13x12 (a little shallow) 40 long 48x13x16 55 gal 48x13x20 The inside dimensions of my stand are 71x17x30. The Main tank is 100gal 72x18x18. I will be placing my skimmer, an RPS-2000, in the sump. Any ideas/opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog Head Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 yea I was gonna say a 75 but it's 1" to wide... I thought about the same but then I measured the inside. 40l and the 55g are looking good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I like the dimensions of a 45 long for a sump. A couple inches taller than the 40L but still should leave enough room to work over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Head Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Decided to go with a 50 long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Head Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 LFS called and told me that the 50long is no longer available so it will be a 55gal instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have a 60g available with the same footprint as a 55g. It's 1-2 inches taller (22" or so if I recall right) than a 55g but otherwise is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
