My sump is supposed to fit in my new stand from the sump specs on the website but it's 1/8-1/4 too big!

I know AP has eshopps and I have the R-200 and the R-100 will fit but seems too small for me.
 
Beyond the reef in Schaumburg has about 10 different types of sumps in stock, but cheaper is to build your own.
 
Just a thought. Could you use a dermal tool or router and trim the stand an 1/8-1/4 inch. Would depend on where is hits though.
 
Thanks guys I'm going to start calling around and getting brands so I can look at options. If it comes down to having to wait to order one I might build my own. I just REALLY want to get the tank running this weekend

Understandable, the process I have taken my time to figure out properly. On paper the sump should have fit and I even made a cutout to test it. However my sump was not exactly to spec I guess. It 1/8 of an inch larger.

I decided to go with a Berlin style sump instead of a fuge. I might add a remote fuge later.
 
If I build it. There's no issue. Theres a plastic joint in schsumvegas...u can but the sheets have them cut n glue. Not rocket science. My $0.02
