Trying to find something for a sump

[Westpat]

I am looking for something to make a sump with. Nothing fancy but preferrably acryllic, I want to plumb a float valve. I am looking for something about 30"x12". Heighth does not really matter.

Maybe this will be the chance to clean out your closet, or quit tripping over that container you don't use anymore!

Any suggestions will be appreciated,
David

rubbermaid tub worked well for me.

My dad bought 3 58 gallon storage bins from Home Depot after Christmas to store lights and such in. They looked very well suited for a DIY sump if you want to go that route.
And they were only like $8-12 each !

Thanks for the advice. I actually found a used wet/dry for 40$. I had to invest 12$ for a new fitting for it. It is normally around 200$ new, so I think I got a good deal. It is for a 55g so the space under the stand is pretty tight. Thanks for all the suggestions though.
