R & J Stand info needed

[Susan Edwards]

I'm looking to buy an R&J stand, 72x18x30. Does anyone have? None of the pics online show the back. How many back braces are there? Can I fit a sump? If so, how big? I'd like to use a 55 gal/48 inch.

Would love any info/feedback/pictures

Let see if we can get some answers.
Have you thought about custom?

I did send an email to the company and a message on their FB page. Both said the stand would fit. FB person said that it would have to be angled in so I assume there a brace, but not in the center. Still no pictures of the back even though I asked...

Custom means getting my husband to make and he could. He'd make it strong enough to hold a house. He once made me an aviary that rivaled the tiny houses of today and an awesome sewing cabinet as big as an execs desk, but he's working 6 days a week and would rather work with his mill and metal or plastics than wood. I'm also not sure it would be any cheaper. The R&J cabinet is 404.00. Guess I'll get it and if it doesn't work, I'll return it.

Okay, I'm going to add the inner dimensions. And when the stand arrives, I'll take pics to post for future folk. Getting answers on this product and important info has not been easy!!
Inside: 68 x 16 x 26
Outside: 72.5 x 18.5 x 30

Received my stand and am over all pleased. We might add a pc of plywood to the bottom and paint it. My hubby worries about it holding the weight. I wonder if there is a place in the forum for stand info. I had such a frustrating time finding info on this stand--and no pics anywhere of the back or inside.

Here are a few pics. Ignore the kitty prints in the dusty bottom...
