Looking for a sump tank

So I've found it pretty difficult to find a sump tank for my 72 Bow front build due to the dimensions of the stand. The only place I've been referred to is LifeReef. Jeff makes a custom build package for the 72 however, I wanted to see if anyone had anything to offer on here first or maybe even a used LifeReef sump that would get me out of this situation.Help!!
 
Pretty much you are limited to the center of the stand. You can do something modular-like with regular glass tanks and drill for bulkhead connection. I'll upload an.image or two when I get home so you can get an idea...
 
This is a sump and fuge that I had a while ago, you can see the raised fuge sitting on a shelf I built; drain fed the fuge that was a drilled tank with a bulkhead, pvc, elbow; gravity did the trick to dump the water in the sump.
You may do something similar with glass tanks.
The center piece of wood is removable but once the tank is full would be a risk to take it off due to the width of the front opening. The stand was reinforced with plywood. The center piece of wood allowed to fit a nice 20-long DIY glass sump, same footprint as the regular 30g as seen on one of the images.
Hope it helps
