i may rework the bottom of the stand to add some height tho. if there is a will there is a way just means the tank will sit higher up. i forsee a step stool in my future. ir maybe investin some elevator shoes lol

I think a pair of Gene Simmons-esque boots would be stylin!......I feel for ya tho.....my first sump was made from a 55g tank that was 18" tall and it was a PITA to work in....so much so that I ended up having a custom sump made that was lower and wider.....made things much easier for working in the sump....
