Reefnuts(419) Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) Just picked up a used 90 Hex tank . Got it all cleaned up. Next step is figure out what size sump i can fit in the stand .

Muttley000 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Nice! Sump room is a pain with those, I used to have a 60, because you can't fit anything standard under them big enough. If you build a cabinet bigger than the hex it gets easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefnuts(419) Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 I'm leaning towards the trigger systems emerald 26 sump. with a little cutting on the top plate of the stand i can drop it in thru the top and I'll have enough storage space leftover for about 1 can of pellet food . lol ...

Reefnuts(419) Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Now to fit the sump into the stand . I think I'm gonna need a saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefnuts(419) Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Notched out the bottom of the stand so the stand will be lowered down over top of the sump. If i ever have to replace the sump I'll have to cut out a side panel from the stand. Ducklady Amy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefnuts(419) Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 It's a tight fit but it's in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Nice work and a major hurdle cleared! What's the next step? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjh9100 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Very nice. I did a sump off to the side of my stand on my 90 hex build because I was stuck in an emergency situation when my regular 90 broke. My alternative was the cube sump system by the same company but it was the Ruby version. My stand is different though cause it is not open on top or bottom it has solid boards. I put my sump next to it and as soon as I get a 40 breeder on sale I am gonna build a stand over it and us 1 sump for 2 systems. I have everything I need except light sand tank and fish.
