the rule I go by is make the sump at least 1/3 of your tank size this way you have 20g of space with 10 g of water in the sump and 10g of buffer space for when the power goes out | I think it is a little small also. You need to make sure you make room for water displacement that will drain from the main tank. _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)
