    Do to the crazy structure under my tank i dont have room to fit anything but my canister filter. Im buying a sump and want to build a matching stand/box/bookcase next to the tank. I know my tubing will have to be a bit longer but will this effect anything or is there anything else i should be aware of before i run into any issues?

    I always run a sump next to my tank. Its a pain having to crawl under a tank every week to clean a skimmer or change GFO, etc.
