75 or 40 gal.

When I get more money back flowing, anyone else have that issue haha, I have a 75 and 40 gal I want to use for my display. Will the 40 gal be better as my reef tank due to it being shallower? I am thinking the light will be stronger throughout the tank so that is why I'm making the assumption. Thanks guys/gals!!

Bigger is easier to keep, the deeper tank would just need more lighting

I think a 40 makes a great reef you just can’t have many fish.

75g display x 40g sump? Makes a good combo.

Imforbis im not wanting many fish in the 40 and that will be one of those fun reef tanks. 2quills Im wanting to do a 75 and a 40 display with a 40 sump. I have bought 6 tanks in the past month, yes im addicted again, so I have a 75, 2 40's and 3 10's. Would a 10 gal refugium be too big?

In my opinion a refugium can’t really be too big. When I had a 40 I used a 16 gallon sump, probably half was the refugium.

Agreed, too small yes. Too big , never!! Lol
