would a 20g long be a suitable sump for my tank when i make the upgrade? thanks, Dan IMO a 20g long would suitable. Of course that being said without seeing your stand. Just be sure to take some "inside" measurements of your stand first.

Looks like a good start. If it were me, I would set up the new tank with a new sump and transfer out of the current tank into the new one. It is a little more expensive, but it is safer IMO.
