Lukinrats Old and New 90 gallon tank!

[lukinrats]

Melev... I told you I would take some pictures of measurements earlier... So hear they are, and I hope they help!

First of all here is what holds the stand peices together, and how I will take the front off to install the sump

This one shows the width of the stand where the sump will sit, and of course this is the side that I will be notching out in the back for the skimmer section to slide on back further

Here is the section that I will be modifying to allow better access once the sump is installed... I am going to cut out that part of trim that runs horizontally and glue it between the door, and the drawer facing... This will create one big door that looks like a door and drawers when shut... I will do this on both sides, and leave the center brace

this one is the existing height of the opening

Here is the height of that peice in the back that I want the fuge to clear, and hang over

This shows that there is currently 16" from the front edge to the wall... I am going to move the stand away from the wall... so the 16" depth of the sump wont matter here

Here is how far it will be to the floor for the foot that you were talking about dropping down to support the fuge

The pictures did not come out like I wanted them to... I had to make them small... so if you cannot tell something by looking at these let me know... I tried to think of everything, so let me know if I missed anything... I feel like we are getting close:thumbsup:
CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I can see pretty much what is happening here. Let's keep this thread about your tank and plans. PM sent.

This is also something that I want to do after I get my sump installed... Although it will be on a little bit larger scale because I want more flow than what a couple of maxi jets put out... I want to put like a mag or something in that little box... with a oceans motions on top of it... this will lift the pump up almost to the top of the display, allowing there to be minimal plumbing up to the manifold... I have not decided yet, but I may not even have to put a prime line used to start it up for the first time... I would only put a short suction down in the display.

Whada yall think?
