I need an acrylic tank for use as a sump. The MAX dimensions are 17" (front to back) x 32" long x 18" tall. I'd prefer something like 16" x 32" x 16". Scratches don't matter but it has to hold water. My last sump started leaking suddenly where it had been repaired once. I don't want to go through this mess again. I can pick up or meet in the middle no problem.

THanks Jesus, I'm just trying to find something a little bigger if I can, but I may get back to you about your sump if you still have it.

Thanks Dan, but I don't want anything w/ holes in it, unless I can use them. That's how I got into this mess in the first place (not that it couldn't be patched but if it leaked again I'd probably hurt myself for making the same decision twice!)

You could probably use the hole for the return the other three I can patch (I've never ever ever had a leak from an acrylic patch I've done so you wouldn't have to worry about that).. lmk if you change your mind.. the bulkhead is in a place where it would work for your return IIRC where you had everything..

Dan, you still have that 29? I might be interested afterall. Does it have any baffles in it?

I still have it.. It doesn't have any baffles so you'll be able to arrange it how you want it.. I used to have the water from the tank drop into a 2.5g hex that I had inside the sump and had a filter sock and a few bags of carbon in it.. I'll include it as well..for $50.. LMK... I'll be around Sunday(my sisters wedding is tommorow)..
