I have an 80g PNP reef tank that I got from SC Aquariums.
I am trying to slide the sump into the stand but it's impossible to do. The sump is a 1/2" larger than the opening. I have removed the doors, the center brace, and have rotated and angled the sump, but nothing is working.
I contacted Steve at SC Aquariums, and he told me that I need to remove the back panel of the stand and slide it in from the rear. Wait, something just occurred to me, breaking that seal now ruins the caulk that i have used to seal that joint. UGH, not to mention the paint I painted the inside of the cabinet with. And another thing...If this tank is up and running, and the sump would need to come out for any reason, it could not be done if the stand is a few inches from the wall. Um, this doesn't sound right.
Has anyone else experienced this?
