seems like alot of people go for small sumps of 20" or slightly higher/lower on my 90g i use a 75g tank for a sump even if half my tank was to find its way to the sump i would still be covered:P
whats life without a little risk.. seriously tho my 50 has the return lined inthe middle of the tank but i have devised a way to syphon break the plumbing so i dontlose any tank water on power outage. it works well tehony downside on teh 50 is i have to change teh air tubes every 3 months orclean themout of algea so im doing it slightly changed on the 180

my 90 has a 20g sump 50 has 33g sump and 180 will have a 50g sump. regretfully all sumps must be below tank. all in all i dont advise ppl too much because i may be liable for my brain activity and its thought patterns lol


edit id end up being the cause of a drama run thread lol
