Don't really see any reason why that wouldn't work either.

What do ppl here recommend for a sump? I was thinking a 75 gallon or something. That would be 1.5 feet wide and 4 long. Think i could fit that in there through a 2.5 foot opening given the stand's front to back width of 2.5 feet?
I think I need to rig a cardboard tank and test that one out lol...

Probably a good idea on the center brace. Your sump will just have to be a little taller to make up for the length that you can't get in there.

I believe that you screwed the plywood ends on? Maybe you could just unscrew the plywood from one end and slide the sump right in from one end. Then just screw the ply back in place.

How about a door on EACH end to make both of you happy?
The sides are screwed and glued. I doubt I could remove them at this point. I'd prefer to only be able to use a sump I can fully remove later if need be. Not sure the need would ever arise but like you said I can go with a taller one. I should have plenty of room as I don't think I'll run a refuge. I have a feeling that any useful fuge needs to be bigger than what I have space for in there. I had considered placing one on a shelf in the stand. I do have a lot of height to play with. The innner height of the stand is more than 3 feet! Last edited by lastlight; 04-29-2008 at 05:58 AM.

just a noob giving his two cents worth but if your wanting to be able to remove the sumps for some reason why don't you run two connected with a 2 inch pipe for leveling purposes that's what i did and i have a refugium in one sump and in the other i have the mixing chamber and the protein skimmer chamber and i still have room for a 22 watt lifeguard UV sterilizer on the end
