My sump is 18" tall.What are the dimensions of your sump? With a 2 ft tall stand your sump would have to be pretty low for you to have enough clearance to do maintenance. I have a 120g wide with a 20g sump (made out of a 20g tall, 16 inches height) under my 29 in tall 2x4 stand. I have just enough clearance to do maintenance. My design is a lot different, more like your standard style wet/dry system you could get with Amiracle or E-Shoppes.

Noted, I can always build a taller stand. What about my design, is the overflow/sump okay?Not enough space in the stand for maintenance as noted above
The K1 will not move without baffles. It looks like all you had was a flow through style egg crating separating k1 from the pump all the k1 will do is bunch up right against that plate.Okay so 120 tank with 29 sump. Aiming for 4-5 turnover. tank is 2' tall and stand is 2' tall. 2x 1" pvc overflow with the intake 2" from surface. RIO plus 2500 (782 GPH). Sump filled with K1 media. Is my design fine?
