I understand Chris... I know my wife would be a little upset if I just got rid of the couch! Plus... where would I watch football?

The tank is 30" front to back and the External overflows ar 5.5" I made the stand 37" front to back just to be safe... and, it will be right up against the wall. All of the plumbing runs down thru the top of the stand. A guy could cut 6 to 7 inches out of the equation by having internal overflows. Having the extra inches in the stand opens up some interesting options too. For instance... my sump is 34 inches long by 22 inches wide and I have installed it in the center area of the stand from front to back.
