Hey everyone. Thanks for the recent advice on modifying the tank in my previous posts. More questions will definitely be forthcoming, and as always, thanks again in advance

Some pre-question info - The location I would like to place the tank in the house is up against the wall where the garage is on the other side. I am wondering about piping all the overflow/return out through the wall and into the garage where I would keep the sump/fuge and excess mess that always accompanies salt tanks.

Tank specs - 180gal. Sump size - 40-55 gal (if everyone thinks this is appropriate) - I have one that I may use however I may purchase a used acrylic and partition it myself.

I don't yet have the info on pumps, skimmer, UV, chiller, etc. I will be picking these up soon from a friend and can't yet get the info.

Question - What are the pros/cons or consequences of keeping the sump/fuge in the garage?

I live in southern California where summer temps can reach 110 during the day but drop to 60-70 at night. Winter temps are 60 during the day and 30-40 at night. The garage doesn't quite get to the extremes... but I dont know the specific range of temps inside it either.

Let me know if this is feasable or am I opening up a can of worms in considering it.

Thanks
