double 20 gallon long fuge and sump?

hi all, in february im getting a 120 gallon 48,24,24, my ? is, will 2 20 longs be enough room for a sump and a fuge, i will drill the first tank and have it gravity fed to the sump tank. what are the dimentions of a 20 long? i will have my drain line "T"ed off so i can reduce the flow in the fuge part what do you all think? any thing im not thinking of let me know, thanks all

 

i wouldn't rely too much on gravity, other than that it sounds good

 

May want a bit bigger sump for a 120. Maybe like a 40 breeder or a 30 gallon long.

 

how did you get that signature

 

Through my Apex Aquacontroller and reefchat.org

 

Gravity is one of the most consistent forces in the universe, there are lots of unreliable things, gravity isn't one of them. ;D

But I think your idea is fine, lots of people are doing "compound" sumps like that. You just have to make sure the overflows/plumbing doesn't get clogged just like in the display tank overflows. A standard 20 long is about 30" by 13" by 13" outer dimensions.

 

well they why not use "THE FORCE"

 

sweet thanks for all your help,K+
