So I have 34 from side to side and 14 inch’s front to back
I’m thinking of the fiji 30 sump if anyone has better ideas I’d love to hear them

I mean if you have no more plans with the stand then go for it, otherwise I'd look into the fiji cube 20. Give you a little more room down there for activities

I would buy a 20 Long for twenty bucks at Petco and silicone a couple baffles in it. They are 30"x12"x12".
Exactly what I did for my 60 breeder. Used the fiji cube sump kit and enjoy it. Didn't put the fug baffle in so I could use a big enough skimmer and have enough room for bigger heaters

A little pricy, but those are nice.

120 bucks for a sump? I think it's pretty cheap
It's really cheap compared to a Trigger or other pre-made sump. But it's more expensive than three 1/4" thick baffles from a glass shop.

So, a little pricey instead of outrageous. ;)

On my 30 I bought two aquariums, a 7.5 gallon for my sump and a 4 gallon for my ATO. I run a filter sock, skimmer, bioblocks and a small all in one UV in that sump
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
