Sump options for small cabinet space?

[Mhamilton0911]

Hello all! This will be my first sump so I have no ideer what I'm doin'. Forgive any silly questions.

I have a 75g tank that I would like to eventually have a HOB overflow and sump. Issue here is my stand. It's great for a canister filter, which I'm sure it was designed for, but I have 2 cabinets that are each only 15" wide, and 26" tall. I feel like this greatly limits my sump options.

1. Diy Super custom and I make it all to fit my space.

2. Buy super custom.

I really don't see any options pre-built that will fit such a narrow space, but maybe I'm not looking in the right spot? Any recommendations?

Not ideal but you can always use the canister filer, or a hang on back filter if you're unable to find any solutions. Other than that I think your best bet would be custom.

That looks like a possible option, tight fit, but looks possible. I've heard mixed opinions on the sumps with built in ato reservoir, is it a waste of total sump space? I can do the ato reservoir on the other cabinet side too.

I’m not sure about the ato reservoir because I don’t have one in my sump, but maybe someone that has an ato reservoir in their sump can give some insight.

I'd say build your own stand. It's not difficult. I'm a girly girl and it wasn't difficult at all.

Cool. Thanks for all the replies. I'll check out that pre-built more, possibly look at custom sump options.

I like the stand otherwise, it's very sturdy and is new, bought it in August, so I'd rather not have to replace it ..... I know building one is possible, I have a collection of good tools, but time on the otherhand in low on.
