Sump needed for 500gallon reef tank

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can purchase sumps large enough for 500 gallon systems? Is there an equation to how large the sump needs to be? I was thinking of finding either a premade sump or some sort of large acrylic container that I could fit a huge skimmer and maybe 4 filter socks into. Im wondering if this would be good enough for filtration or if there is something else I should add. I would probably want to run carbon and phosban I assume as well. Thanks for the help.
 
Sumps can be made from used tanks just as easily. Just make sure the glass is NOT tempered so you can drill it for a bulkhead.
