Im new to this as well and staying up until 2am researching is definitely fun. (waking up is the unpleasant part!) how big will your sump be? my sump is going to be 15gals.

Hay for 75G you should have a larger sump like a 30g and thats rock bottom minimum size. You can do a 30g long.

Hey Bill, i think you misunderstood me. my 75G is a cichlid tank. i have a canister filter on that one.

I have decided to go with a new 50G tank as my first venture into saltwater, and with that, I have a 15 G all glass aquarium laying around I am going to use as a sump.
