i currently have a 40 gallon tank and wanted to set it up as a reef tank. i want to build my own sump/fuge and was wondering what the minimum gallon capacity it should be. i have an extra 10 gallon hanging around and was wondering if that was a large enough sump for my tank. i would probably want to have the skimmer and heater and what not in there so i would add acrylic partitions to create compartments in the sump. so back to the original questiion .... is a 10 gallon a good size to create a sump with or should it be bigger?
