Sump Ideas?

[Solitaryensis]

Hi All:

I am trying my hardest to avoid getting a custom sump built and was hoping you all had some ideas about alternatives. I need a sump with a maximum foot print of 18" x 16." So far, the only "stock" tank I could find is a standard 5 gallon but its just way too small for my set up. I have been out of the hobby for a while but I know at some point people were using rubber maids/plastic containers. I am a bit leery as I don't know how they hold up long term but if there is a brand/model that works, I am open to suggestions. Thanks in advance!

BTW, here's a pic of the tank I just got finished building the stand.

That is a little small but it is essentially what I got priced out to have custom built. The custom (locally built) one was roughly the same price. I know, I know, im just being cheap Would just really prefer to avoid in investing in the sump and put that money into my lights.
