sump size for 220g tank

[othicx]

i have been talking to a guy about getting a 45g sump, that would be ok for a start right? Due to the fact that i have to get live rock, lights, heaters, skimmer, sump ect. the money will be spread a bit thin so 45g should work right?

to small, bigger!! trust me, plus bigger shouldnt cost you much more.

I use a 40g sump on my 75g and I wish I had more space. Just build your own. Cheap second hand tank and a couple pieces of glass is all you need. Plus that way you can design it the way you want.

I do realize that bigger is better and I will get one that is as big as I can fit. But that may take a while to save that extra money. So I guess what my question should have been was, will a 45g sump work for now? Oh and I'm looking at a used sump so if anyone has a used one that is bigger by all means let me know cuz I might take it haha
