So im currently looking into buying a 75 gallon tank from petco with the upcoming 50% off discount to eventually turn into my DT (Granted i plan to probably wait a few months as my 25g has only been cycled for roughly 2 months and i feel that might mess up all my current work so ill probably wait until all rocks and sand are live and tank is a little better etc.) my question is, With a 75g tank id prefer to have a sump and would like to use my current 25g tank as said sump, i would obviously have to add baffles and get an overflow box and all that fun stuff but my biggest problem is a stand. I currently have my 25g sitting on a coffee table and i dont think i could feasibly 1. Fit a 75 gallon tank ontop of it or 2. Fit a 25g tank under it while also being able to still access the inside of the tank for things like water changes and filter media changes (i assume you have to do a water change on the sump and then that goes into the DT i honestly have no clue so really any info on sumps added into this is greatly appreciated) so that leads me to the main point of this whole post, does anyone know where i can get a decent stand that will support BOTH a 75g tank and a 25g sump? or if not can someone give me some ideas on what i should do instead to make the whole setup a little easier? As stated any help about any form of the sump setup or how it should work. I would also appreciate any recommendations on specific accessories to add to the tank aka a specific hob overflow/power heads/lights/really anything that would be needed for both the sump and DT as i currently only have a tidal 35 hob filter, 1 topfin powerhead with build it aerator, and 1 aquatop CPS-1 maxflow circulation pump (im about to buy a jebao slw-10)
 
Sumps not an absolute.
Here’s 65g with no sump, just HOB filter and skimmer..

Yeah that’s another option too, idk I’m debating what my best route is as I’m still fairly new to all this 😭
 
I am also looking into buying a jump gyre but I’m confused as to if that’s the ONLY pump I need or if I’d still benefit from another type of wave maker or circulation pump? Or am I better just getting 2 circulation pumps pointed at eachother
