    (1) In designing my sump for a 150 gallon tank, I believe that I should maximize the sump water volume as long as it fits comfortably in the oversized stand. I want to have a 20" overheight, but an old timer said that anything over 16" becomes very difficult (awkward) to access and maintain...

    I've been wanting to build a custom sump for awhile now. I have a sump that came with my CADLights cube, but it really didn't have enough space for a big skimmer or anything.
