Sump Question

Last year I bought a 120 tank and over the course of the year I have been getting the "pieces" to make it work. I have the basic pieces, now all I need is my sump. I have a 55gal tank that I am planning on using as a sump, but don't want/know how to make a sump. I have read a ton on line, and have the knowledge to make the sump, just not the "skills" to make it.

Anyway, all that to say, is there anyone local I can take my tank to to make it into a sump (for inexpensive/almost free!!!). I just need someone to put in the baffles for me. Is there a local glass company, etc. (I live in Lancaster County). Or is someone looking to sell their sump locally, inexpensively......

I am anxious to get my tank going, but don't want to mess around with the sump myself, since I don't have money to get another one (nor do I have the money to buy a ready-made sump at TFP).....

THANKS!!
 
I'm not sure how far away you are from Something Fishy but I think Todd or Steve would be able to help...
 
The baffles are very simple to put in.

Just have the glass company cut them to the correct size, you can use glass or plexi, glass is cheap.

Then you get a tube of silicone, on the outside of the tank put a line (removable) where you want each baffle, run a bead of silicone on the line then put the baffle in.

worse case is you mess up and scrape the silicone off and try again.
