Inside the IM stand or the 8020 cage?
12" cage leaves 9" clearance. Each 15 series is 1.5".
The cage mounts to the channel in the stand and does not affect the inside of the stand if thats what you meant.
My 170 the cage sits on the floor.

Inside the stand.

The IM100 is listed as 42" inner for the cabinet, I am trying to think if I created a raised floor inside frame if that would get me the extra 2 inches to house a 44inch sump.

This is someones build with the 3418, Id want to raise the inner part where the sump sits so that it now sits on the frame inside the tank to give me that last 2 inches

The door stops would have to be removed and you only have 3/4" to the door on each side, so 1.5".
Not sure how the person in the pic did it. I would ask them.
I am happy with the 3 ext systems I run.

I fragged the digi and may remove the entire piece or what I can.
Broke off a large piece of surf and turf bumping it while removing some digi.
I can make some surf and turf frags but the rest will go to lfs or anyone who wants to come and get them. If not then into the carx bin they go. I have quite a few others I need to clear out too.

Today the 9430 dc started making noise. I replaced it with a spare.
The impeller magnet was chewed up. The barrel was gouged.
I was dripping kalk into the carbon basket directly above the pump.
That may have caused it.
I repositiined the kalk.
I removed the Tunze return, it was running fine for 2 years, and put in a new one and cleaned the old one.
