Can anyone help me need photos of sumps plumbed next to tank, I have NO access underneath the tank due to stand construction . Tank already filled and running. Wishing to add sump.Thanks for Help>

Low Boy Stand? MY 220 was one & sump next to tank.
It was not RR so I had HOB overflows with plastic pool hoses for drains.
No problems in all the years it was up.
The pump back ran through the chiller, into the skimmer & tank.

You are asking for trouble without a gravity drain. If you cannot figure out how to put it lower than the main tank, you are best going without a sump.

Just asking, Is there a room behind the tank that you could put sump? I had a 125 gallon at my old house and a spare/utility type room behind that I put my sump set up and just made 2 neat holes (one for drain and one for return) and it worked out great. Just a thought if you have the layout that works.

the sump will be next to tank gravity fed as sump is on floor next to tank stand,

It shouldn't be any different than a remote filter room, are you going to use solid plumbing? Attache to a wall?

A sump is a sump then. Most are unique in some way. Your plumbing is unique to your setup. A DDG search produced the following:
