Benny Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Starting my new build now that I am finally back in Austin. 50 Gallon Zoo Med low boy on a custom aluminum stand, running a 39" Trigger Systems sump and Rollermat, Haven't decided on lights yet. Drilled the tank today at RCA and drew up the stand design. Starting to cut the aluminum tomorrow morning.

victoly Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 make sure you can get that sump in and out easy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 The front will be completely open. I got the 2x3 1/8th inch wall aluminum square tube so I don't need the center upright. May leave the rear upright out as well. This thing will probably hold up a car. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+olaggie01 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I’d love to get a rollermat setup on my tank but that looks huge. How tall is the stand and how much room from the top of the sump to the bottom of the stand?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have it setup to gravity feed into the filter and then into the sump from above. If you have room next to your sump you can drill the side and mount it that way. Or use a pump to feed it too. Definitely not the easiest piece of equipment to integrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
