Where would a 12G AIO fit in? If 2G is the 'sump' and it is stock?

Its part of the custom category. IMO those kinds of tanks are not "stock" anways.

Perhaps I should clarify. A "stock tank" is basically the glass box you get from the store. If you put it together yourself, its custom.

Right, but its 12 gallons so it has to go in the custom category.

And its not really the glass box I was thinking of. I was talking bare bones tanks, like those little All-Glass tanks you can get for ten or fifteen bucks. Any AIO tank should be in the custom category IMO.

Gotcha, so if I understand correctly a 10G drilled with an overflow and a 10G sump is considered stock? And a 10G display with a with a 2G sump AIO off the shelf with no mods needed is considered custom?

wait...then will the stock 10 gallon I bought that I plan on turning into a shabby AIO be custom then?

I guess so

I'm confused by the rules, I can drill, add an overflow and add a sump to a 10G in the stock category, but if its AIO, its custom? Not trying to be a pain but I got a tank that I figured would work based on the rules for 10G Stock. I got a stock tank with a 10G display, 2G sump, under 20G total water volume.
