Which sump?

[ImGoingCoastal]

So I'm doing a new build and have two options of sumps.

1) trigger systems Ruby 30S
2) trigger systems emerald 26

Leaning towards the emerald because I like the design and color but I cant shake the extra 5 gallons that the 30s holds (my tank stand can hold up to a 30" tank)

Just need help nudging me in a direction.

I say get the biggest that will fit, possibly make your own

I have a converted 20L which fits nearly perfectly.... but I really want it to be aesthetically pleasing as well.

I have the sapphire 26, same sump as the emerald but blue. Very happy with it.

Replacing socks with huge mat of chaeto is the greatest thing I have ever done. Throw in some sand and a small CUC and maintenance is now a breeze. Greatest form of automation ever.
