Not quite sure what you are looking for?

The problem with stacking sump tanks is access for maintenance.

I have a custom made sump inside my RSM stand and a 5 gallon water jug for ATO sitting next to it if that is the type of thing you are looking for.

I custom made my sump because, at 21 incehes wide, I was reeally limited in what standard tanks would fit (10 gal was the largest). By going custom I could fit a 28 gallon sump in the stand.

You could get a tank built with separate sump and ATO sections to fit under your 30 cube and utilize all the space.

I have an ATO section in the 67 gal sump under my 90.

Here's what mine looks like. Sorry for the mess.

Skimmer on the front right, fuge on the front left, Live rock rubble bubble tower, then a flat area to keep my media reactor, into a series of baffles, past the heater, and into the return pump. The white bucket in the back is my ATO water supply.

Don't stack. It's a pain to do maintenance on.
