I have not decided on the sump size as of yet, I am still mulling over the idea of making my own. Once I find out my piping size I will probably make the sump as close to 40 gallons as I can. As Christy said, bigger is better, so will try to get the volume as large as possible.
As I was reading Christy's reply my wife walked in...damn
Her words were are you f'n crazy you already have covered 16 feet of wall in a 2 bedroom apt... Unfortenatley she knows I spent $2600 setting up my Chiclid tank and knows I am going to **** away another 2 week vacation (her words). So I guess I am staying with the 50. Only if she was into this, she would see one tank is like a mini vacation every day.
Well I am off like a herd of turtles in a snow storm to read some more...
