Do you have an acyrlic shop around you? That is going to be your best bet because you can customize it. Its still expensive.

Good question about budget. I guess the cheapest big sump I could get. I have the 30 gallon but with everything going into my basement and the volume of water I am going to have the 30 is not going to be enough. Its gonna overflow. I need something like 55 or so. Everything I see that big is massive money.

If your on a small budget my advice is to not get in a hurry. You should consider checking craigslist, or other used sites that might be more local to your area. You can often pick up a 50 gallon aquarium on the cheap, and have a few pieces of glass cut by a shop for $30 bucks. If your not into DIY projects, then check those sites out for exactly what you need.
A new 50 gallon sump/refuge is going to cost $250 bucks plus shipping from a company I've used in the past.

$250 isn't bad. Plus I don't want a fuge in it. I will have a seperate refuge. Not a bad price. I see ones for $380 plus!

I would build your own using acrylic. I just built around a 50 gallon sump that is 42X24X13 for under 50 dollars.
With all due respect you can purchase 50 gallon acrylic tanks for $50? My friend if you can we can make a ton of money. You would be hard pressed to find glass tanks for $1 a gallon
