For you guys who built your own stand what is the dimensions??
I'm thinking of doing a 40breeder sump with the stand dimension being 50Lx22Dx40H.

The size depends on your choices. The top should be slightly larger then the tank. The height can very by how a person intends to clean the tank. Some require a stool to reach the bottom, or you can use a shorter stand.

Ok. I need the tank taller cause I'm gonna do an I sump skimmer and want room to do maintenance. The stand I have now is too short to do much maintenance without squeezing around.

I wouldn't use 2x4 it's way over kill. you can get away with 3/4" plywood. I built mine 50Lx22Wx36H. I just added 1x2 at corners.. 75g with 40b sump.
