If there’s no squeezing it in does anyone have a link to properly build one and Aproximate cost?....The Stands kinda butt *** ugly anyhow..... just really didn’t want to be redoing all this 2 months in.....figured more 1-2 years before redo and possible upgrade.
I'm not sure what your budget is, but these stands look nice and you can add whatever panels and/or doors you'd like to them:

Thank you for the thought but Too much for me. Also if I was going to go with a metal stand I would just weld one up as I have access to flat/ round /tube stock.... am pondering mocking up a square brace to hold it up though now ...... :)

So for a little update I finally got around to installing my trigger sump. Braced with angle iron and 2x4s. Drained tank down to about 6 inches and removed center brace. Was too easy lol. If someone has this issue going forward I think screwing in 2 bys would suffice imo

Will post some pics when I get home from work and my daughters game. It’s not the prettiest plumbing just flex drain hose but I’ll finally be able to run a refugium. My wife did Snapchat most of the endeveor as she finds it all comical
