    I am a new reefer and I am starting a 10g frag tank. I want to use a sump along with it. a 5g just seems silly. Is it possible to use a 10g sump on a 10g tank? That may be a stupid question.....

    Of course it is fine. The recommendation is for at least 20% of the DT. Some folks have sumps larger than the DT.
