The bigger the better. Two 20's would work if you want your refugium seperate. If not one larger tank would also make a good sump/refugium.

Then that'll work. Do you plan on conecting them together? If not what are your plans?

A 55 gallon would be my vote, you can cut a hole in the side of the stand and put a trim around the piece you cut out and then stick it back in and nobody will really be the wiser. Saves you from having to mess with taking the back brace out.
