Sump for an AGA 65 gallon?

[omegagriever85]

Hey all, I am setting up an AGA 65 gallon and have discovered that the 20 gallon high I used on my old 72 will not fit in the standard oak stand for the 65. I was wondering what kind of sumps you AGA 65 owners are using out there. I prefer just to keep it as simple as buying a standard aquarium and not making a custom acrylic sump or anything like that. Just wanted to know what known sized tanks will fit in this stand before I go out and buy one. Thanks ahead of time.

I have a 40 breeder which uses the same stand as the 65. I have a 20 long sump because the lower height fit better under the stand.

Thanks a lot...I figured the 20 long would fit just needed some confirmation.

I used a 20 High for my 58 -- same footprint. I am using an external pump, so I needed the extra room.

Here is an old picture of it.

29 would be perfect if you want to go with a stock aga size. The extra inches of height over a 20l are nice to have IMO.

Is that stand from All Glass Todd? I can't for the life of me figure out how to fit the 20H in mine without having to remove the center support..which I'm not going to do. The tank is just too tall to slide in from the top..which is by far the largest opening.

The stand is from Oceanic. Got it about 7 years ago.

There is no center support in the front, just the back.

here is a picture I just took

Here is my sump under my 65aga

It is a 20long and fits in perfect.

I was planning on using a 20 long for the 65g I was planning. I think the footprint is perfect...

A 20h should be perfect unless, the tank is already set-up & you cant fit it thru a single door stand :lol: This is what I have under my stand along with a blue wave ballast...
