So I have been planning for quite some time now to put a 10g under my 29g in the stand for a sump. Well I tried to finally do so, but the door spacing on the front of the stand is too small for me to finagle a 10g into the stand no matter what ways I tilt it. The stand is up against a wall so coming in from the back is out of the question as I would rather not empty my tank and move it away from the wall for awhile just to put the tank back there.
So my question is, has anyone else had this issue and maybe found a special angle to fit it in through the front? Or maybe is there a different dimension sump you guys think will fit? I was thinking 2 5 gallons side by side with pvc piping runing between the two but idk if i wanna pay to have 2 5 gallon tanks drilled as thats kinda foolish pricing for such a small bunch of tanks. And I doubt building an acrylic sump inside the stand would be achievable either. I know they make external sumps and I may have to go that route, but the idea was that I could hide everything in the stand so itd look nicer and so that the skimmer wouldnt be as loud beside my bed.
Any ideas or suggestions are extremely appreciated.
