Hey all! I've been trying to nail down what I'd like to have in my upcoming 75g build. The stand design doesn't leave much room for a sump, there are a few options, but at 15" wide, that's not much of a sump. So I tossed around the idea of an AIO insert, but I've never had an aio tank, or even been able to really get a good look at one back there.
Question 1, what really needs to be in the back area of the aio inserts? Pump, media, space for heater, is that all?
Question 2, how large would this need to be for a 48" wide tank? I was thinking centering in the middle, maybe 18-24" wide. Is this enough, too big?
Question 3, how deep, just deep enough to fit a pump?
Question 4, I'd like to utilize removable media basket inserts, where should I look for those, and should I build the insert after I've found the media baskets I'd like to use?
I have found an acrylic dude that might be able to customize this for me based on some measurements, but I had no idea what I'm really looking for. Hopefully someone can give me some insight on AIO's?
Thanks in advance!!
