Glass is a hair under 24".

What type of stand is it? You should have more than 24"
for that size tank. Does it have 2 doors with a suport in
between the two doors. Often the support can be taken out,
and put back in with screws. That's what I did with my 120
gallon tank stand. I have a 30 gallon sump in it.

You could probably get it in by putting it in at an angle. Tell your
LFS about your situation, and ask them if you can take it back if it
does not fit.

Sure...
Or I could nip 1/8" of the cabinet opening on each side :-)
Is it 24" when you measure glass ? and 24" + 1/4" frame ?

One other method would be to drain your tank down with just a little
water in it, and move it to a table, and then put the 20 gallon tank
in from the top, and then put the 30 gallon back on top of the stand,
but if the sump ever needs replacing you would have to go through that
again. Check with your lfs an see if you can borrow one to see if you
can get it in by putting it in at anagle.

We are talking about 58 gallons reef-ready Oceanic tank.
I had troubles moving it when empty - it is out of the
question now, with several 50# bags of sand (DSB) and water :-)
