Hello all

I'm looking for a way to increase the water volume of my 8g nano tank. I have a 10g tank as a sump (about 4 gallons) under the stand and I'm going to upgrade to a trigger sapphire 20 cube (should increase the sump to 12 gallons). This brings me to about 20 gallons (probably more like 15 once rocks are taken into account).

I need a living room friendly (needs to look decent) option to add 10-20 more gallons to the system. The sump is out in the open which is why I'm going with the trigger so I need something I can sit next to the tank and maybe enclose in a small cabinet. I've considered a 10 or 20g tank. I'd prefer something with a smaller footprint that is taller (I looked at 15g columns but they are hard to find).

Here is my thought a crystal 10g ato container from trigger. Any other suggestions would be great as well.

My tank with the 10g sump, the trigger 20 will fit perfectly in the stand and the whole front will be a display refugium.

Thanks Len
 
Turn whatever tank design you choose into a display refugium. Functional as well as good looking.

The trigger sump will definitely be a display fuge. I'm looking for a tank I can conceal to just add water volume to the system
