question about deep blue/seapora stand

[CuseCorals]

Anyone know if a 40 breeder will fit inside the stand of a deep blue 36x18 stand>? It has the same footprint as the 34 gallon reef ready rimless I want. I want to use the 40 breeder I have as a sump to hold my live rock and keep it out of the frag tank.

My guess would be no since 40B's are 18.5" wide I believe. A 29G would probably work, but is tall rather than wide, so its not the best for a sump.

I was going to get the same size tank and went with a 36x24x12 instead.
I bought a uline shelf unit and replaced the fiberboard with plywood. Sealed the stand and wood with liquid rubber. It came out nice and you could put magnetic side on if you want. You can also remove the breeder if you ever need to. The slelves are rated at 1800lbs. The stand is 36" tall and makes working in the tank super easy. I run a 40 breeder sump also.

Here is a couple pics.

I was thinking about doing a stand like that for my mixing station, thanks for sharing!

They have a 36x18x36 stand also. A 40 breeder would fit snugly but it would fit. You would not be able to remove the sump without removing the frag tank. Thats why I went with the larger.

I have the racks already, I used to stack 2 40 breeders but the tank I am looking at comes with the stand. I also have 20 long sump but I'm looking to move all my live rock to the sump so I need more space, plus I have a 40b sitting around
