Sump size?

ReefKnot · 03/13/2011, 10:11 PM

I'm getting a 36 bowfront tomorrow, and I want to add a sump to it. I've got a 29 and a 20 lying around, and I dont know which to use. I heard somewhere that 1/3 of your DT is ideal. Anybody have opinions?

what else do you want to keep under the tank? if nothing, the bigger, the better.
