If you need a really quick fix, you could use one of those Rubbermaid tubs for the time being until you can get a better sump going.

eBay has some nice DIY sumps (basically acrylic/glass pieces per cut). Seem to have pretty good reviews.

Here's a link to my photo album, there are pics of the sump I made using a 40 long. The fuge is on the right, skimmer in the middle, and return on the left. http://s218.photobucket.com/albums/cc237/chad7531/

Thanks guy's I'm going to try making a new one from a 29 gallon I had out in the shop. I just picked up glass from Lowe's last night and a tube of GE silicone II.
