Well I have come back from the dead... I had a few changes in my life I met a girl at a group that I went to and now I ended up marrying her this last year. Needless to say I kept having problems with oxygen zapping bacteria blooms which would kill my fish it seems and I lost interest in the whole thing... I was watching something on BRS today and it made me think of old times and got me wondering if I could get auto water change going first it would work for me better. duno..

Well after looking at how big the UV sterilizers are I wondering if I should re-think a lot of things If I restart a new tank.. I underestimated the amount of crap I would need in the sump area and I'm afraid I wouldn't have enough room for a serious sized UV setup..

So I'm wondering if I should consider going to a 40gal Breeder tank with maybe just my 20Gal as a sump still. Then I would have more room down below in theory. I not sure if 20 gal sump would be good enough for a 40Gal breeder. I would have my 30Gal tank but feels like it would be a bit tall for a sump.

The other issue with that is I don't have enough room for a 40 gal breeder where I have it right now. So I have to move the whole thing probably to my dinning room.
