20g tank with 20g sump?

[NanoPerson67]

does this sound like a good idea?? a 20 gallon reef with a 20 sump? or a 29 gallon reef with a 20 sump? i just found out i dont have enough room for a 40g breeder.. so i need a big sump to make loss of water volume.. so it will be basically like a gave a 40g breeder with no sump..

29g with a 20g sump...since your worried about water volume and space...

or you can just do a 29g with a 10g sump... if you are pressed for space.

I had a 20 long with a 20 long sump. You save on electricity cuz the tank is shallow. If you are going for a regular 20, might as well go for a 29 gallon. 20 Gallon sump on a 29gallon tank is nice, should be able to take more bioloads than a 10 gallon sump (not a whole lot, but it's doubled)
