looking to set up a 75 gallon with a sump/fuge.
from what i seen on most stands, they have a brace in the middle of the front and back, so i think im going to have to build my own stand.
what size sump/fuge is good for a 75? id prefer to stay under 3 feet long... this should still be plenty right?
where does one but a premade sump/fuge?
i dont know if i would want to build one. i think id rather just buy one.

I belive this site sales some but you can build them for a tird of the cost and there super easy to build. As far as size goes the bigger the better

i checked out this site, and i didnt see it... can anyone give me a link?
i know building one is cheaper... where do i go to get acrylic cut? does anyone have a link on how to build one with a fuge? and how to go about aquiring the actual material with exact dimensions?

I thought they did but I was wrong. Ok first lets nail down a size what space do you hve to work with and what type of filters do you have now

well everything is def in the planning stages.
but my proposed plans right now are a 75 display with a U tube overflow going to a sump/fuge and having a seasquirt return.
now i would also like to have a small calcium reactor that i will DIY.
one of the reasons i want to diy a calcium reactor is do downsize it for the 75 gallon tank and to be able to fit it under the display tank.
so heres the game plan, im going to build a stand. i want to have a "power panel" area like melevs reef... so lets say we reserve 12 inches for that. that leaves me with at least 3 feet to have a sump/fuge and a calcium reactor.
is a 30 inch sump a standard size to have under a 75 gallon?
