How many tanks is too many on one sump system

[reefsquared]

I am in the process of setting up a new system and I have a lot of small tanks I was thinking about plumbing into the main system. Maybe 3 or 4 smaller tanks. How many is too many?

I've seen LFS that have a 100 tanks on one sump. I guess it depends on the size of your sump and how willing you are to do some inventive plumbing. I would maybe get a very large UV sterilizer to help try to isolate and cut down on disease though.

Technically speaking there is no limit, it all depends of the sizes of the sump and tanks. If you have a big enough sump to be able to handle the demands of the tanks, you will be fine.
