So I've had my current tank a Cad Lights 92gal running for a little over a year, with the sump that came with it holding around 15 to 20 gallons of water. Everything is thriving fish and corals. All the corals started from 1 to 3 inch frags and the ones that have been in there the longest being the larger ones in the pic. I have what most would consider a lot of fish, 15 total.
Naso tang
Blue tang
Yellow tang
Gold spot rabbit
Golden trevally
Red coris wrasse
Green wrasse
Cardinal
Gold stripe maroon
Tomato clown
Bicolor blenny
Niger trigger
Blue throat trigger
Squirrelfish
Damsel
Would getting a larger sump, say one that holds 30 or so gallons of water make much of a difference versus my current one?
 
That is a beautiful tank. If you're not experiencing any problems, I would go with the old adage...if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's my two pennies anyway.

Ya definitely not making any drastic changes just thinking if having an extra 20 gallons or so would make much of a difference, I figure it wouldn't hurt?
 
No way would I disturb that tank. Unless you are having a nutrient problem and want to run a refugium, or are having space restraints and want to add a bigger skimmer. That sump increase won't do much more than that.
 
Beautiful tank, but I'm worried about those tangs. How long is the tank?

Ya everything is really thriving probably just go with a bigger tank in the next couple years.
