a regular 20 should be fine. i had a 20 under my 65 and it was parfect. 20 long u can setup more baffels for a bigger refugium but its up to u.

A 20L would be PERFECT for a 40 breeder.

My answer to this is. As big as you can fit into your stand. I've got a 40B and I'm running a sump that has about 15g . Sometimes I wish it was bigger. Just to have more volume.

I have an 20H(24 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 16 3/4) under my 40b. And in my situation is a perfect
fit since I run a external rc skimmer.

If I could do it all over again, I would for sure use a 20 Long.

Instead, I'm using a 5 gallon bucket connected to a 10 gallon through a bulkhead. Still works, but not as pretty.
