Sorry for your loss.
I can't honestly think as to why I did not put my sump on one side or the other but now you mention that is a good idea. I know there had to be a reason (probably temporary insanity) but I cant think of why so I will buy some more hose this week/weekend and knock that out.
Thanks for the smack back to reality.

Wait I remember why I didn't side it, once the sides are on it would be to hard to work on. We (wife and I) built this stand lower so she did not have to use a ladder or chair to get to the top of the tank (she's short) and by doing that we left very little room for sump maintenance. So it would be very difficult to work on the sump if it was sided instead of centered.
