i think i've reached a happy medium for now: 54x30x24 for a total volume of 168 gallons. still darn big, only 6 inches longer than before (and length is more of an issue than depth). this will also give me more room for my refugium because this way the sump can be bigger. jon you'll probably agree that the refugium could be bigger (for the rest of you, i'll try to post a final design for the sump tonight).
