@Jaysin13 luckily, I had your advice to listen to! After bargain hunting for the first set up, and setting up my tank at an extreme discount, I still ended up buying almost everything twice, so this was my lesson in research 2 times, buy 1 time. Super happy with how it turned out, and the sump i used (freedom 4-1 100) allows for plenty of space in the stand.Ok, now I'm jealous. I really should have set mine up with a sump.
