| Midas Blenny  | sump to side or underneath? Hey all, i have a complicated question and i don't know if i can explain it...but here we go...i have a 55 gallon aquarium and the stand cannot hold a 20 galllon sump underneath. So i thought that i could set the two right next to each other. Would you suggest to do this or to get a new stand and set the sump up underneath there??? Hopefully my drawing can help! |
