55g sump for thin stand

[J062682l]

Anyone seen a sump for a 55g wood stand. The one that comes with canopy. It's real thin like 11 inches Think I have to custom build a stand to fit in the doors and under the stand and still have room for skimmer

I mean custom build a sump,, kind if thinking if going glass and using 2 smaller tanks connected by flex pipe anyone ever seen a 2 tank sump?

What about just building a bigger stand that a tank would fit under?

I thought about that but then I have to move the tank. And what if it breaks.

In design mode. How many socks would I need for a 55 g

it's a 2 part. One part filtration second refugium and outflow

Is the tank filled already? If not, a 55 is easy to move.

Filled and has been running for years on a canister filter, I just feel since in getting more corals. I want better fiktration. And this design might be my only choice

Gotcha. You could always run your sump to the side of your DT

That's a shot of my stand. It's 45 long and 10in wide

 

[J062682l]

Thought about a square sump in the side hidden in a cabinet. But my Inlaws don't like it. I have to keep it in the stand. Custom build I think

 

[J062682l]

I could skip the 2 tank leave the skimmer hob and skip the refugium.

 

[adupree]

What about just waiting until you upgrade to a bigger tank? Seems like to much hassle.

 

[J062682l]

I could but were would the fun be in that ! I have 2 months off to complete a project and in thinking sump
