Looking to purchase a sump approx 40"x20"x20" for my new build. Any suggestions on where i would get one? All the ones i see are relatively small. Thanks in advance.
Eshopps has a good design, goes up to 34 gallons, not quite your size but close. Good center space for a fuge, especially if you have room to put your skimmer up on a shelf atop the sump and use an external pump like the Iwaki. My mag 5 skimmer pump is in the pump chamber, and my return is external, and it serves pretty well. The only flaw has been the rimless sides, but I used aluminum channeling U shaped with a wooden shim, and it has kept the sides from bowing.

look on craigslist. you can find a used tank for relatively cheap, then just get some baffles, and you got yourself a large sump
