Tks to all bros, I am new to sump and getting a 2nd hand from a friend his sump is actually 3.5ft X 2.5w for a tank size of 6.5 x 2.5 x 2.5.
As there is some place left at the cabinet can i use eheim 2260 as spare filter.

Why not get a bigger sump instead of adding another cannister ? Less maintan n simple to access.
