Still waiting for the overflow to be finished but started working on the stand and the sump. Using 2 30G long tanks for the sump, 1 is purely a refugium. New 3/4 plywood and foam with all the holes necessary for the closed loop returns. Need to find some adjustable feet for my stand...

if those are old tanks i would take a day to remove the silicone seals and put new seals in them. Always worth the effort on an older tank.

For feet you can use appliance ones. Drill and tap the stand if the bottoms of the down tubes are sealed, although you'd probably be better off having someone weld some 1/4" plates under there to drill and tap. The more threads the better. I think the thread rule is basically 1/2 the size of the thread for the metal thickness ie; 1/2" thread, 1/4" metal.
Also, you could just use bolts if you can't find appliance feet.
