A lot of reefers I know keep sumps between 50% to 100% of their tank volume, so a 20g would probably be good enough for your 39g tank. Of course, since sumps also add water volume to your total system, bigger is better. My friend has a 180g sump for his 165g display reef system.
If your sump is going into the stand under your display tank, then figure out what's the biggest size tank/sump you can fit under there & that will be your limiting factor. Hope that helps, Anthony

Thanks for that website. It has some really great info on there.
And I think I've found the perfect tank that's about 70% of my display tank.

How are you adding the sump, is your tank drilled or are you going to use an external overflow box?

I'd have to go the overflow route as my tank is not drilled.

For a small tank, I would buy a new tank, get it drilled for an overflow, plus drilled for a closed loop. Then transplant your current reef into the new tank.
If you go with an overflow, make sure you take the necessary precautions.
