No problem. Good call. The bigger the better!  You know, you could use that
20 gallon as a refugium and hook it into your sump. That would be nice.

Just a thought.

PS. I am jealous! Your sump is damn near as big as my reef!

        Thanks for the reply Shane. I took your advise but ordered a
slightly
        larger tank ( 40 breeder) 
        with 2 bulkheads. I'll just keep my old 20 gallon as a backup.
