So I'm going to be building my first stand for a 14 gallon rimless cube tank by aqueon. I do plan on drilling the tank and putting a sump on it, so I need to leave room underneath for that. One saving grace I have is that the stand is going to be L shaped so I have a cabinet and a table built into it, so that means I can use a 10-20L for the sump since the length will be fine. The main problem is the width. I was planning on using 2X4s for the height of the stand, and make a square out of 2x4s on the top and bottom like how king of DIY makes his stands. I dont think that will leave much room for the sump with that, so could I use a thinner piece for the height since I'll still be using more 2x4s for supporting the weight? Or do you guys have another idea for it that would work? I want it to be relatively a seamless transition from the tank glass to the stand so it looks sleek. Attached is a rough drawing of my idea.
