Biggest sump for a 75

[toothybugs]

I'm having trouble finding a big sump for inside the stand to a 75. Any ideas? Ideal dimensions seem to be about 42-44" long, 16-17" wide, 14-16" high. I'd much prefer to not build it but if worse comes to worst... well, ya know.

I haven't found any plastic totes that will work anywhere close to these dimensions either. Help is very appreciated.

A 29 gl and you might have a little room for a small ATO reservoir.

Yea that's what I am currently using under my 40B. I was hoping to better utilize some of the space in the cabinet. I can't fit my current 40 in because it's an inch too wide but my 29 seems high and somewhat narrow.As an aside, my ATO res is going outside the tank for ease of access. That's easy to hide.

EDIT: I should note the reason I want a max'd out sump is because I intend to turn my 40B into my new refugium. It will drain in to the sump along with the DT.

I also ran into the same problem, thought about a custom sump but eventually built my own out of a 20l and it's working great for me. I will be following to see what you go with.

a 30 long should work

I used a Trigger Systems Ruby30 under my 90g, same footprint, but had hardly any room in the stand for much else so I went a little smaller.

there are a few option with companies that make them like Trigger and etc. But if you are making it yourself out of a standard aquarium the easiest will be a 29 gallon. I say easiest bc you can get these from petco on their $1 per gallon sale. There are some other manufactured tanks that are a little bit bigger that would work but i imagine you will have trouble finding them easily
