Sump Size?

I just had my AGA 120RR tank delivered to my house tonight. Now the fun begins. The tank is 48x24x24.

I had my heart set on a sump/refugium combo that is 36 x 16 x 18. I made a cardboard box of that size to see how it would fit through the doors of the cabinet and it wouldn't come close to fitting. It looks like the largest size that can fit through the door is about 22L x 15W or 27L x 12W. I would think it should be able to fit through the doors in case you had to take it out and I really don't want to hack up a new stand.

Any ideas on what to do?

 

You can make a seperate refugium that flows into your sump out of a 10 or 20 gal tank and then all you will need is a big enough tank for your equipment in the sump. Fuge should be 1/10 of your tank volume so make them two seperate tanks so you can get it to fit. T your OF line and put a valve on the fuge line so you can slow the water down to the fuge and just let it gravity feed back in the sump where your return pump is. That way your fuge has the slow flow it needs to do it's job and your sump can turn over a large quanity of water so your skimmer can do it's job. ;D

 

Can you take the back off your cabinet? You could put the sump in that way.
