Sump for 135gak tank

[Bry17nyc]

I have a 135 gal tank that im debating which size tank it would need as a sump

Currently i have a 20 gal high refugium on my 90 aquarium that i really want to transfer to the new tank

I want to build a sump that has 4 chambers(no refugium) and holds the water of the 135 gallon tank when i unplug the return pump

Chambers are
(Filter sock -> skimmer -> mangrove plant[small chamber no bigger than 5 inches] -> return pump)

Which tank should i build it in?
Is a 30 or 40 gal tank good?

I would go with the forty if you could

I have a pm sump for sale if you don't want to make one, it doesn't have a fuge drilled for ext. Pump pm if interested. I had it one a 150

I want to make my own..ihave specific dimentions of each chamber i m making but thanks though

Do you think if i put a 20 gal H as my sump and a and a 20 long as the refugium it wont overflow?

I can't see why it would, but if you have the room I would go bigger for the sump. I over worry about the overflow factor. Thankfully I have never had a problem, but def.something that I give way too much thought sometimes
How are you going to connect fuge to the sump?

45 gallon long got good dimensions
48 1/4 x 12 3/4 x 19.

Use the largest sump that you can make room for!
