ryan beautiful tank. how is the deep blue stand, does water spill makes it swell? is 12" wide sump will fit in that?

the deep blue stand is really nice, but has a big downside. its built well and very stylish if you dont want the common pine wood stand. i was very happy with it...except the front brace. if you look at the stand, the carbon fiber front brace covers almost half the front of the tank. its a pain to work around. i highly reccomend getting a custom sump. customking (jeff) custom built me an amazing sump.

sadly, this whole set up was sold a week ago and do not have it anymore to tell you for sure, but in dont think 12" wide will fit. there is a side door on the right side of the stand, and 12" would fit, but there are 2 extra support beams in the back of the stand and its a real tight fit. when i had my sump made, i had it made 11 inches wide to be safe. i also built a cool roller device with a slide out tray, so if i ever wanted to do serious work down there, i can just slide my sump out.

hope this helps

thanks ryan. i was thinking about the front brace also, it's a real downside.

I found out last week you took the tank down and couldn't believe it. Hope all is well buddy.
Btw, you'll be back. Lol...
