A 40 gallon tank should work just fine. You just want to make sure you have enough extra volume for draindown from the tank when all pumps are shut off.

Huge stock tanks and sumps are great if you have the room, but if you are limited to under the tank you don't have room for them. If your tank is reef ready you shouldn't have more than a few gallons of draindown in case of a power outage.

I run a 300 gallon and a 150 gallon tank off a single sump measuring 48 x 18 x 18, same dimensions as a 75 gallon tank, and I have plenty of extra volume for draindown for both tanks.

THX Acroholic. I have been doing some research and found out a nice way to include a refuge separate and apart from the sump. I am liking that approach so I may go that direction. Thx to all who helped me on this.
