    I am building a stand that is 37" long by 25" wide to accomodate the 36x24x16 tank I just got.  My question is, what recomendations do folks have on a sump that I can use.  I am not handy with the diy acrylic/silicone/etc.  I would like to take advantage of the depth of the stand more so than maximizing the length of it for sump purposes.  For ease of use/access, I do not plan on having a center brace in the middle of the stand/door (stand will be done with peninsula style tank in mind).  Not sure if anything exists 24" long by 20" deep x x" tall....or at least something along those lines.  Thoughts/ideas?  I would like to do a refugium in this setup.

    A 20 gallon tall tank would be about right. It is really easy to silicone in some baffles, acrylic or glass.

    check out the link with common aquarium sizes. there are a few options that should fit pretty good. I think the 20g high and 29g are pretty common in most stores.
