Ok time for a update and sorry never answered you post [MENTION=1277]jrpark22000[/MENTION]
So it's a 72 bow running a canister filter with a hob skimmer that really has not preformed all that well so I finally got him to commit in a upgrade , it's not that hard to say no when your son buys everything for you and gives it to him on xmas
So a sump, skimz 122, and a dc3000 return pump.
And some pics
We installed a overflow box but needed 3" between tank and wall so I gave him 4" , i used a porta-power and slide the tank along the carpet 1-1/2"
So after that we had to move the center brace to get the sump in there
Looks great! Yeah, if I would have tried doing what you did, I would have busted a hole in the wall, broken the stand, tank and spilled saltwater all over the floor. Well done!
