Did they redesign it? It fit under my 90, and my stand was super short. It's under my 50 right now, and that stand is super short too.

It fits under there. Im thinking of using my 50g as the sump, which won't. That would also give more room for the skimmer.

Ah, that would be nice. Remote sump is the bomb. I wish I had that option.

Overflows done & drying. Some idiot forgot to tape the front right one.
Oh well, won't be seen once covered. As the stones sand, "paint it black", as on my back glass.

The 6 in. where overflows are will be hidden. And piping will go through visible hole to my office/fishroom.

Did you know the tape is to be pulled while silicone is still wet. I never. DOH!!!!!!
Should have watched the u tube video first. Guess a partial redo tomm. I picked up an older 40g cube style tank for a sump. 3/8th glass. All braced. Going to redo all the seams. Guess I will know how this time.

Thanks. As the saying goes, misery loves company. Somehow I don't feel so bad now.

I cut it completely out this morning.
