my reactor was built by jon and is about 8"x8" and a little under 2' high. my tank is a 10lb, is about 5" in diameter, and around 1.5' high. i'm sure if necessary you could DIY a really compact reactor. and you could hang the tank horizontally from the top of the stand or something if necessary. the inside of my stand is about 5'x2' and comfortably hold a 4'x1'x18" sump/fuge, CO2 tank, reactor, timers, and a lot of cords, with room to spare and about 8" of clearance from the top of the tank or reactor. if i get off my lazy rear i'll take and upload some pictures.

If I was going to build a stand I would get Brad's plans with the side by side cabinets housing the tall items.....
