Sump 10x bigger than display tank ?
 

I am just wondering if any one has ever seen a set up where the sump was in say a basement or crawl space and plumbed upto another room in the house to one or two display tanks?

I ask because I have a huge heated concrete crawl space under my main floor that I could easily fit a 100 plus gallon sump/refugium into, but have limited space for display tanks because we are in a town house and I share my space with my wife and Kids.

I thought about setting up previously when I was into breeding cichlid's. there is every thing i need already there, it would be so easy to add a ato/ro. I could have a 75 gallon refugium it would be awesome. :mrgreen:

My sump is in the basement, I love it. I couldn't imagine trying to fit everything in the cramped space of the display stand

I've seen 4 in person. They're also a great way to isolate some of the usual noise that a reef tank can produce from your living area where it is displayed.

all my equipment is in the garage, works great

yup.....my Girly(fishoholic) has two 230g tanks and a 80g tank in the family room plumbed to a 90g sump in the crawl space.....just need a big enough pump (or pumps) to get the water where it needs to go...
