The sump can be made, depending on what you want it to do
1- what skimmer do you have.
2- what return pump do you have.
3- what is your dt size
4- do you have an internal over flow, or external.

 

[Benzi350]

Well for one I have a 20 long frag tank and a 55 dt I need two of them. I have nothing

How are you running your filtration now?? Is the 55 and the 20 RR, or are you using hob overflow boxes. are they tied into the same filters.

I have a skimmer and fluval 405 on the 55 and an aqua clear on the 20.

 

[rkaragozler]

do you have a overflow box on the 55 or a hob skimmer??
With what you are running now are you happy? how long have you been running it this way. The only reason why I ask is. If everything looks happy and you have good results. why spend the money??

I have hob skim on 55. Had it about a year. I always thought a ref. Was bettet. I loke the benefits if a refugium.

You can always add an hob fuge to your system for a lot less than converting both the tanks, with over flow boxes and an additional expense of making a sump. look at this set up
