You have to feed it under stand from behind. Process would be to drain the tank at least halfway salvaging water and then moving the stand by sliding it across a 1-2" pvc pipe and sliding sump in, and move tank back to its' spot. Might as well verify leveling before you restore water to the tank.

75 on left side 20 on right.
I had same problem so just put it next to it.
Super easy to work on.
For 125, go with biggest cube possible. I keep extra water in mine.
You can actually cut the middle post of the stand out with no worries but in my case I didn't need to.

The cube only come in 20 by 20 . You mean larger sump but 20x 20 holds 4 more gallons than 26 inch sump>

You have ruled out stand/sump limitations by placing it on the side. All I mean is get the biggest sump you can get whether it be a tank or pre made one. If a cube is what fits then the 26 is fine. It has a lot of room inside for everything I need.
