I have a 23g sump/fuge over my 75g tank. There is about a 7-8 gallon section blocked off for heaters and skimmer, the rest is a fuge with LR, Cheato, and grape caulerpa. Before I tore it down, I had an insane amount of pod growth in there.... I had copepods, amphipods, zooplankton, mysid shrimp, etc... breeding it it. I have an interesting overflow setup and thus it allows pods to flow down into the tank more easily. I also found the nutrient export slightly beneficial since before I had a really bad skimmer, haha. I still wish I could have gone with a bigger fuge for more algae growing space.
