Adding a Skimmer to a small sump

[jroczniak]

Stand Size

Well I looked under my tank last night to see how I would do this. The 10 gallon is up as far as it can go and to one side all the way also.. the thing that sucks is that the cabinet is curved on the front to match the bowfront. So I cant get much bigger, I can only go upwards...I am still trying to decide what to do. I could make one acrylic compartment to match the angle of the front of the cabinet that would probably be a pretty good size...hmmmmm

Will a 26g bow tank fit under the stand? 24x15x21

That'd be a slick, easy solution if it would fit. Otherwise I'd probably build an 5-sided acrylic sump (like a squashed pentagon) to fit in the available space.

good idea

hmm..that could work.. I wonder which one would be cheaper tho...

Probably cheaper to buy, but depends if you have the space for a standard tank. You'd probably spend $100 for the acrylic to build a sump.
