Oceanic 58 Gallon Stand Owners: How big of a SUMP tank can I fit?

Kinetic · 09/07/2006, 01:12 PM

I'm trying to figure out what sizes of sumps I can stick under a oceanic 58 gallon's stand? It's a 36 x 18 x 32 stand, but I'm not exactly sure how big of a sump I can put underneath.

I'm planning a 24" x 18" x 16" sump, though not sure if that will fit?

Anybody have the stand? What size sumps do you have?

Thanks!

A 29gal is about the limit. If you make one custom it could be deeper (front-to-back) but that's about it.

it is 30x12x18

how much room front to back does the sump have?

GDAVIDSON7285 · 09/07/2006, 04:13 PM

there is 4 3/8 " from sump and doors

Kinetic · 09/07/2006, 11:44 PM

neat, so about 14 3/8" total width under the stand?

But you probably also need some extra room to squeeze the sump in in the first place =/

I'll goto the LFS and try to fit different sized tanks they have into the stand.

I have an Oceanic stand for a tank that is 18" deep fron to back (its for a 125, but both a 58 and a 125 are 18" deep front to back). The space available inside the stand for the front to back depth is just slightly more than 15.75 inches, so a 16 inch deep tank will not fit inside the stand. It has to be a little narrower than that.

I fit a 29 gallon under my old 58. It is the max size for a standard dimension aquarium sump. Very little extra room. It was kind of a PITA.
