For my new steel stand in my 150 SCA, I was wondering what other members did to place their Sump ?

I went through the side of the stand with sump and ran lines underneath

Did you cut around the stand legs for the board

No the plywood rests on 2x4's placed between the stand.
A bead of black caulking compound is ran around the perimeter of the plywood adhearing it to the stand.
This keeps water from getting underneath the stand. Very simple.
Here is a pic of the stand before I coated it so you can see what I mean.
2x4' were laid flat and the I used a 1/2" piece of plywood.
Steel is 2x2 except fot the top which is 3x2.

Yes I dont have a pic of it.
Just lay them down and place the plywood on top.
You can screw the plywood down bit I did not.
One piece on each end and one in the middle.
