    Here is a photo of my 30g sump under my 55g tank. I have since made a few changes such as upgrading the skimmer and moving the heater and a few other small things.

    My 30 is 30"Lx18"Hx12"W. I think mine is a 30g tall. i built my stand so I could use a large sump without worrying about the room needed for a tall protein skimmer.
