ah yeah the only problem is my dam door on my shop its only 86cm wide max..... so the stand is only 80cm high .... :wall:

actually maybe my sump will have to be 5x2.5x45 or 50cm :konk:

Darren,

I think your front door is a ally slider. correct me if wrong.

If so, you should be able to remove the fixed section in a flash. that way you will have the complete opening.

got a photo

if you know a glazier they could come in and remove a window for you, then you put the stand and tank through and then they put the window back...

alternatively if you have any spare bricks laying around i can remove the window for you, only problem is that i don't think i could put it back :roflmao:

cant wait to see this one!

yes

but still limited room between sump and top not that bad i guess... ill make it work but have to have a section next to it similar to stripes for my new skimmer or i could cut a hole in the bottom shelf and have my skimmer sit on the floor....

yes well make this work nicely :thumbsup:

im getting so excited for this new baby .......both of them :roflmao:
