Do you have an overflow box yet? And how big of a sump are you going with? Hopefully no smaller than a 30 long.

i still think it it easier to just leave it, and pull the tank all the way up to the front edge... lets extra space on the back, may be be build two TALL pieces of something woods to cover/fit it.

I agree with Malulu,and if yr going with an in sump pump,you might luck out and have one less bend in the return to the tank.
