Putting new sump in my basement... Do you think a 30gal sump is good enough for a 90 gal. Tank.. And what is the difference between putting the protein skimmer in the 1st. Stage or 3rd. stage thx john

Bigger is always better.

If I had to do it over again, I'd put my skimmer in the 3rd stage. You avoid getting detritus in your skimmer then.

Agreed. The 100gal stock tank is my sump for my 220gal. I love it.
