1st of thank you for your service also. Trigger also makes custom sump to the size you want too. I honestly never heard of Bashsea lol but a 60" sump is long as hell haha. I I did a 10 ft stand and with the 44" i still wish I had a little more room for different things. The skins we use some floor that was water proof and ended up being perfect.

Maybe I'll contact Trigger about the sump I'm designing and see what they say. It is 60x22x16, so it is pretty big. I wanted to be able to run a rather deep sump water level and still have room for roughly 40g of overflow for when the return pumps are off. Initially I was going to go with a smaller sump when it was going to be under the stand, but when the plans changed and I was able to build a fish room on the other side of the tank wall, it freed up a lot of options.

I thought the skin looked like flooring... it's a nice effect with the white trim.

I wish I have could have had a fish room. So your sump size doesnt even matter, my wife would never lol

Well, it is a fish room in name only. After the sump, RODI system, and the small counter goes in, there will not be room for any tanks with fish in them. I guess I could put a nano on the counter with a fish in it. lol

Well either way its going to be nice to not have to work under tank and have to space so really work. Makes things a 10000 times easier.
