Gonna possibly have my buddy make me one. He's like creepy smart with fish and reptiles and plant species and builds enclosures for everything. If I can find a tank to fit under, he can make me a sump.
Ok here's the deal.... Tell me if this sounds good or bad. Reef octopus bh1000 hob skimmer, eshoppes pf300 overflow box, 5 gal sump with filter sock, and an eheim 2000 return pump (or comparable) I'll add cheato and a light as well to refugium and live rock rubble. Should move about 300-350gph. That's my filtration. My friend is making the 5 gal sump for me. Since the tank isn't drilled I feel like this is my best option. Thoughts?
A 10 gal won't fit. It's ridiculous how small the cabinet is. The acrylic cuts in to hold the door bracket and that cuts back on almost 3 inches. So I'll have to use the 5 gal.
No the back of the stand is clear acrylic. I thought the same thing but nope. I'm kinda screwed.
Worried that the stand won't be able to support the tank then. I feel like it's there for a reason, ya know? I'll look at it again.
The guy I bought it from was using it for fresh water. I couldn't see the tank in person before purchasing because he lived over two hours away so we met halfway. I probably wouldn't have bought it knowing the bottom had no room. I'm almost thinking of just looking for a used full setup instead.
