72 gallon owners

[cowabonga]

i have the all glass stand and want to put a sump...
i have my eye on the 20L but i know its not possible...whats the biggest tank that i can fit through the opening? I plan to make it a sump/refug. Also would a mag12 be enough as a return 4 feet up into the tank? Thanks

You can fit a 20 gallon Long tank through the top, a 20 gallon high through the bottom, and a 15 gallon high through the door.

can i fit the 20h through the door too?

Why can't you fit it thru? You have wide front doors and the back is completely open.

The back of my stand for my all-glass 72 is NOT completely open. There is a huge support bar in the way. The best I could do was a 20 tall, and that was a tight squeeze.
I want to add another tank under there, ie, build a shelf and put another tank under there to add a refugium. Just really looking to find some time - two jobs and 14 credits is not recommended for trying to keep a reef!

i went through this for my sump.. i had a 20l at one point and when i broke down my tank i changed it out for a 20h. the 20l will fit through the top. the 20h will only fit through the bottom, by detaching the particle board and reattaching it or a 15h would fit through the doors because it has a smaller footprint than the 20h.

how do you detect the particle board...can i do that even though my tank is up and running already?
