too big?

[Paidbychrist0825]

hey guys. i am still planning, but i have plans to have a 20 Long as my fuge. the main will be 55. yall think this is too big?

[Telco Guy]

I wouldn't say there is such a thing as too big! :wink: More water volume is always good, no matter where it is.

[Condiman]

I also agree because it will also give you plenty of room to do things but the main improtance is more water volume

[Zack]

more water volume= more stable ;)

[blackangler]

the ideal fuge woudl be ten to 20 times the main tank.
fyi so really most fuges are too small, but yours will be fine for your tank

[Paidbychrist0825]

ten to 20 times the water, so like a 10 would need a 200?

[Condiman]

ya like most people have the room for something like that

[blackangler]

thats the proublem

[Paidbychrist0825]

thats ok i now have a lot all planned out. i will keep everyone up do date as to plans

[tnguy86]

if you had a ten gallon reef, but a 200 gallon fuge, then how many of you out there would truly use the 200 for a fuge and not you main??? hahahah

[Condiman]

you got a point there :D

[reefpaddler]

Let's say you had a 400 gal tank. What would you use for a refuge then? A swimming pool?:)

A very smart person once said, "The best solution for pollution is dilution"
I am currently planning a 10 gallon tank for my son's room with a 20l for a fuge.
Some people down here are using 300 gallon stock tanks for thier sumps and fuge. They are setting them up in their garage and piping them through the walls.

I say more bigger is more better but anything is better than nothing :-D

[bigfoot]

yea stock tanks are good 300 gallon rubbermaids are 79 bucks up here :)
