I have a question. I plan to setup 46g bowfront reef tank..
and planning to add the sump and the refugium.. I don't know how big should it be...
I have 10g tank and 20g long tank which one is good for sump and refugium?
is 10g big enough? thanks
 
If the 20g fits use that. I prefer a Skimmer --> Refugium --> Return design ESPECIALLY if you do not plan to run a filter sock. It also helps to cut down on Microbubbles.
 
I'm new to the aquarium deal, but I just put a 30g sump in and it was a tight fit just with a sock, skimmer, bubbletrap, refugium, and return in that order. My only regret is that I didn't plan the water height out to match the needs of the skimmer. Trying to decide now if it's worth it to bring down the waterline from 10" to about 7 or 8".
