Umm, I have a doubt. whats the length of your stand?
One tank seems to be 36" long and other looks like 32". Unless that stand is 36", the longer tank will be sticking out  |

| Isn't the skimmer a little over size for a 70 gallon unless you are considering some serious bioload for that volume. I think that will be the approximate volume of both your displays put together. By meaning no compartment in the sump, do you mean a skimmer section and a return section or the sump with no baffles and the water level controlled by a float? |
