It’s coming along nicely and can’t wait for the finished product. Will the sump work yes. Just make sure to put some siphon breaks on the return nozzles. I didn’t and had to modify my return side with a check valve. Which isn’t ideal because they could leak by over time. If power goes out or something crazy happens. I eventually upgraded sump until someone told me to use the siphon breaks. You’re in the build phase so it should be easy to install now.

What are siphon breaks

A small hole drilled at the highest point, right before it goes into the tank. Then use some RODI fittings to plumb the that into you overflow above the water line. Because when the return is on it will cause pressure on the return side and water will come out. I’ll try to find a video for you to watch.

That guy doesn’t have an overflow box so he has it right at the water line.

Aquascape looks great so far! A 20.4 gallon sump should work for a 92, just keep in mind it might fill up faster during maintenance so a good ATO will help a lot. Excited to see your progress once you add water and some livestock!

As long as it can fit under your tank stand any size sump will work!
