I see alot of great tanks with creative solutions to maximizing use in small cabinets / sumps.

Let me see some idea's what everybody is doing to maximize his/her space in the sump /cabinet for dosing pumps, refugiums, wires, frags,...

Bring it up
 
A few examples i have found

After a year of having no sump just a hob fuge I pulled the plunge and upgraded to a stand that allowed a sump. I have a 30 gallon tank... stand has a 12inch by 30 inch foot print let me remind you. Anything is possible just need a little creativity and a lot of patience. No wires on the floor, all wires have drip loops.

Wow. How big/small is the tank + stand?

The tank is 24x24x12 - roughly 15 gallons. It is a DIY 3/8" PPG Starphire glass tank. The stand is 36x30x18. If you are interested in it, there are more pics in the build thread (link in my signature). I only started it up a few months ago and have had quite a bit of family health issues lately and have not done much stocking, yet.
