Many of us have various tanks in may shapes, sizes and lengths. While some spaces are generous, some are also limited.
Often we utilize ATO, sumps, skimmers, Calcium reactors, sterilizer and other components such as algae scrubbers and various reactors.

What is underneath your tank and how do you manage your components if in tight spaces?
Show us pics if your wish !!

Mine fortunately is ten feet long and I have 36" sump and utilize doser, algae scrubber, 28g ATO, skimmer, calcium reactor and UV sterilizer

I keep mine very cramped - on the other side of the sump co2 scrubber and media reactor - I'm considering putting a manifold in for the reactors, but that's a ways off.I keepa door open during the summer to help with the temp, but probably need to bite the bullet on a chiller if we're going to keep getting 110+ every summer, and the fan isn't cutting it during peak heat. Also considering some hanging baskets to store other small stuff or building some shelves. I've definitely gotta figure something out that isn't the giant jugs for my 2 part unless I build a shelf that goes over the ato reservoir - not sure yet. Never enough space lol

Sump, skimmer, heaters, uv sterilizer. Maybe some chaeto and co2 scrubber in the future
