Hello all,
After about 30 years as a FW guy, with close too 100 successful species spawned, and numerous plants propogated I have decided to give SW a try. Not just a "Fish Only" tank, but a reef.
I inhereted a set of 4 55W CF's in a hood, with a matching stand and a 55 gallon tank. I want to go with a sump, but not sure what the best situation would be. I have read that a 20 gallon sump would be good for a tank this size. So now I have several options.
1) standard 20 will fit in/under the stand, but is only 24 inches long.
2) 20 Long is 30 inches long sill fit in the stand
3) a 24 gallon tank, its 12X12X39. Long, but short and skinny.
Would you "gurus" please help the newby deside?
