Howdy all, my 150 gal has been ordered and I am building my stand this weekend. I am planning on getting a 55gal for the sump and I only recently realized that this stand will have to be pretty darn tall in order for me to be able to do sump maintenance.
So I guess my question is, for those of you with sumps, is how much vertical space do I really need between top of sump and under side of stand to be able to work on it in a practical manner?
I don't have a problem making a 42" or more stand, but at only 18" wide for the tank, i'm concerned about tipping issues with a whole system that will 6 feet tall or so. Any thoughts?
