looking for 3' tank

Im planning of changing my sump to regain some space in my very tiny fish room. hope to score a 36"X18" foot print non-reef ready & hopefully no copper used.

Happy New Year everyone!

That would either be a 50g AGA or 58g Oceanic tank. A 40 breeder is too shallow for your purposes.

K,
did you get a chance to measure the sump? 18-20" high will work, as long as its not more than 17" wide. pix would be great, just to see if there are any obstructions for the skimmer.
