I'm wanting to do a diy sump
But running into problems. My first problem is the aquarium itself to be the sump. The dt is a marineland land 125 dual overflow. I wanted a 40 breeder since the 40 long has been discontinued. So I thought a 55 gallon from petco
Width and length perfect. Height well would only leave me 3 inches to get equipment out for cleaning. Not ideal at all. So at this point not sure where to go for the sump. I would really like to do a diy sump this time around. What other size tanks could I look at? I thought a 40 long marineland but not sure if they make them. Suggestions please. 20 and 10 g tanks r not ideal.

I just bought a 29 gallon tank for my 125. Same footprint as a 20 long, but 6 or 8 inches taller and got baffles from Fiji cube that are made for that size tank...

I just was looking at other lfs in town
Pet supply inc and petsmart brands may have to go with one of those.
