I am designing my DIY stand for a 125 gal RR AGA (72x18x22) and just can not seem to figure out how to fit a 40 gal long (48x13x16) sump into the stand such that it can be removed if necessary down the road.
Is there some trick I am missing? I have seen lots of threads of people who build their sump into their stand - but I want to try to avoid locking it in place. Meaning - I want to be able to remove the sump if necessary in the future without taking the whole aquarium apart to do it.
Because of the 6' tank it needs a center brace in the stand - this brace makes it impossible for me to fit a 4' tank under it unfortunately. I have even looked at putting a door on the end of the stand but it can not have the 13" clearance that would be required to slide the sump in.
Any advice? Or am I just stuck with a sump that can not be removed.
Thanks,
Amb
