Adding a sump

[WIReefer]

Okay guys I have a 55 gallon tank and I want to add a sump what’s a good one out there and what’s good for plumbing and a return pump?

why not cut an access panel in the end of the stand, guessing that's 1/4 " plywood, then replace the cut out with a hinged door

I encourage you to start by reading the R2R article: Sumps: The Rundown. I'm sure others will jump in with specific brand recommendations soon.

EASIEST IS TO GO BEHIND STAND AND SLIDE RIGHT IN. I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF SIDE ACCESS WITH HINGED DOOR. SKIMZ MAKES MANY SIZES IN SUMPS.
