You can use several different types of material, plywood sides and top and bottom or 2x4"s for framing this is a little long but the corners or legs of the stand can be just a simple "L" shape on all 4 corners with the top and bottom part's flat. Sheeting is fine using magnets and some thin ply.

Need a pix of the baker's rack you are wanting to use. IMO most of the baker racks will not hold much weight, let alone 2x 55gal tanks @ 465gals ea with water.

I was gonna to suggest large rubbermaid containers or even a couple of stock tanks might workout. It'll be like moving a tank but staying in the same house good luck

Now since most of the sump is done, I need to drill it for a drain. This is the best way to drill acrylic, with a piece of backing to prevent chip, tear out, I use a piece of scrap 2x4 and a clamp, a good friend helps here if you don't have any clamps. The wood is centered where the hole will be, just peeking out below the paper mask. From the bottom up The tool of choice, it's a 1/2" variable speed drill by Dewalt. I'm using Uniseals so I have the correct size hole saw installed First hole 2nd hole Both holes done All done. Now to rout the tank and it'll be finished

Her's our current tank It's an 80 gal 36"Lx24"Wx22"H with an external overflow using the Bean Animal , the sump is abut a 49gal total with about 30gal working, skimmer with waste collector, calcium reactor Kalk reactor tied to the ATO, hood is a hanging pendant type hood with DIY LumenArcs running 14k Phoenix 250w HQI's

You can do something like this

I'd do it if I were closer. All you need is 12ga 3wire (wire) to extend your current plug. HD/Lowes has it in the electrical wire section, it's thick and yellow (when I bought mine) and just need a 220v male plug. You can DI, just follow where the current wire goes to, 2 hots and one common/gnd and wire up the new cord the same and make sure the plug is wired the same the 2 hots and the other common/gnd

Just 2 baffles as muddyblue said. I have 3 in my sump and over, then under, then over again and have noticed that bubbles will not go under the 2nd baffle and instead get pulled down about an inch and then float up and burst after the first.

Well, you could diy Lumenarcs and I made my own hanging pendent. I used this for the material (makes 2) this pattern (see below) As mentioned, there is just enough room for the Lumenarcs and in mine I have 2x actinics on either side - stuffed in.

I know this was back in May, but would you still have Frag Pack #3 $170 for sale? LMK
