Good sized sump/refugium

"I am exactl 24" wide"
Oh don't worry, you don't have to get in to the stand
yourself, just the tank. I could not resist :-)

The all glass tanks are 24 1/4 x 12 1/2.

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. 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.

I recommend building one. It's easy and inexpensive.
I made one from a 20 gallon long.

I checked the http://www.all-glass.com website, and
they have something they call "20 High" which is
24"x12"x16" - that would almost fit my opening, except
I am exactl 24" wide and the tank might have a frame
little bit wider or be not exactly 24" but 24"+1/8
and I am screwed :-)

But with that height there is some room to play with :-)

Had some pieces of window glass cut to size and siliconed them in. You
can make any arrangement you like, and if you
get hold of a used tank, or if you have an extra one,
it will save you a bundle compared to even a small hang on 'fuge.

Right now the money is not as important as not to have
the tank teared apart just to fit a bigger sump in the
cabinet... So I need to either - make one from scratch
or find some 24" long which would fit giving me more room
than my regular 10 gallons tank I currently use: 20"x10"x12"
