Sump fit in Aqueon 40 Breeder Stand

[reilly2524]

Hello I am starting my first tank, a 40 breeder if you couldn't guess from the title. I got it off craigslist with a sump and the sump had the dimensions of, 30"long 16"tall 14"wide. My question is will this sump fit in one of the aqueon pine stands for the 40 breeder? also if my tank is slightly off dimension from an aqueon 40 breeder will it still fit on the stand? my tank is 36.25"long 18.25tall 16.75wide. I would make my own stand but I don't have much confidence in my abilities.

it shouldn't be a problem unless your stand is made from bigger than normal lumber. measure the stand before you buy it.

My concern would be if you can even actually get it INTO the stand. Most stands have a brace in the middle unless it's a reef specific stand. Would you even be able to get it inside?

yeah after some thought i have decided that I am going to enlist the help of my Grandpa and build a stand.
