    Ok so no to sound like an @$$ but is there no one out there who knows how to use a tape measure?
    A 29 gallon biocube has a stand yes...
    a couple actually...
    What are the I N S I D E measurements?
    (ie Height, Width, Depth...)
    Simple.
    Want to know so as to (or not to) order one.

    Here's a bump for you. I honestly have no idea. Why don't you go into a LFS with tape measure and measure it yourself? (assuming they carry the biocube/stands) If no one gives you an answer by tomorrow ill measure the ones we have where I work.

    Ah I'm sorry. So to be clear you want the height, width, and depth of the INSIDE of the stand, in order to put a sump down there?

    Yes, to the nearest 1/4 inch.
    Smaller if possible. But I'll be happy with any info. TY again
    Could have been a hundred and fifty dollar Oops..

    Do we have the specs?
    And what stand do you have?

    I have a first generation 29G Oceanic (2 door) stand. Inside dimensions are: 18-1/2" wide x 17-3/8" deep x 27-1/16" height.

    Basically, I measured the top shelf for width and depth. For the height, I measured top to bottom without the shelf. In my stand the shelf is optional, and can be moved upward or downward as desired.

    I hope this helps.

    BTW - It may be necessary to remove the doors to install a sump that takes advantage of the full width, and re-attach them afterward.
