RATS.... My skimmer won't fit with the current canopy I just bought (canopy is super shallow).... so I need a new tank or a new taller canopy. Either will do.

Dimensions to play with: 48" x 13"

Possible tanks:
55g 48 x 12.5
45g long 48 x 12.5
67g 48 x 12.5
33g 48 x 12.5

watcha got? I'd prefer RR but anything will do.

Reference pic: (you can see below that the current tank is a sump that I converted to a display tank and my skimmer sits out a bit too much for the canopy I just picked up)

Can you just add more wood to make it taller?

Not really....it has a pretty finished look. I'm sanding it down and staining it but not sure I could match the wood very well....

I appreciate the help guys but I have way too much going on right now to even worry about starting any additional projects...especially reef related. I have movers coming this weekend and really just looking for a simple buy in order to focus on other unfinished projects.

Bump...still looking for a tank....need something by Thursday. Don't need a canopy any longer, I already committed to the one I have.

I have a 55 gallon, not RR, that I broke down recently and don't need it anymore. I still need to clean it. It is about 1 year old and in great shape. Things I need are overflow box, sump, UV sterilizer, protein skimmer, rubble rock, water pumps, roti-rich, I am sure I can think of other things if I sit here long enough. Let me know if you are interested, I live near Fair Oaks.
