Minimum stand height for 120 Gallon

[Pedal Dangit]

If building a stand for a 24x24x48 size tank,

How much height is needed to allow for most modern skimmers to be installed and serviced. (The actual cabinet opening size not overall) I have no idea which skimmer we are going to use. Just looking for ideas for a build. Trying to keep the height as low as possible.

thanks.

Standard stands at 30" tall and that's enough height for most skimmers. Personally I like things a bit higher, when I build my stand I made it 35.

I’m going to use the Nyos 160 for my 125 (72x18x22)

My cabinet opening is about 23” tall with a 55g sump inside. The inside height is approx. 32”.

The actual stand is 35” tall to the tank.

I decide what equipment I will be running and THEN build my stand to meet the requirements of the equipment.

Agreed
Most standard stands are around 30”
I like higher, not only for more room, but for better viewing pleasure

I guess the title should read more like "which skimmer" and asked for suggestions. I am trying to research everything have been out of the hobby so long everything is new again. this tank is going to be room divider where one side of the tank is a step down from the other room so one side will be higher from the floor and the other will be lower in the family room (shorter)
