I need to due some repair to my 20 gal sump underneath my 75 gal tank. Sounds simple enough right? WELLLL! It would be if I didnt forget that the thing was put into the stand from the top while the 75 was on the FLOOOORRRRRRR!!!!!!!Now I have cut my PVC pipe from the overflow and no way to get the 20 out of the stand. I need to fix baffles and was planning on drilling it to hook it up to another 10 gal to seperate the LS and Macro's from the sump pump and skimmer!!!!!
As I quoted "The FatMan" earlier, Beer IS the only way to solve a problem. At least its a quick fix!!!! I know it is going to just sit there starring at me while I cuss myself for not remembering sooner!!!!

Can you remove the paneling and get to the tank from the side? I am in a similar situation with my 29g under my 75g. I always thought that if I had to, I would just bust up the 29g w/ a sledge hammer (or slice the silicone sealant) and replace it with something that fits.

Im afraid to remove the panaling. I boughtit premade and I don't know if it helps hold up the tank or not. AAAUUUGGHHHHH It is STILL sitting there!!!!

Scoob, is the paneling attached to a framework and how sturdy does it look from the inside?
My 75 sits on a stand that I overbuilt to handle a 120 "just in case". I have a 48x15x18 hi sump underneath and I made it specifically so that either end panel will come off with 4 screws for just that reason.
Have another beer and chase down a few scooby snacks, it will all work out
