New 60 Cube.....I need a sump!
I'm almost done gathering my stuff. I ordered a 60 cube with stand. The issue is the inerior space in the stand is about 22"x22". It's really hard to find a proper sump for that size space without sacrificing water volume. I've been advised to get a container of any type that will fit, i.e. Rubbermaid bin or some such thing. Seems like most people have a custom sump made. Does anyone here use a bin or other container as a sump? If so, which one?

I only have 9" front to back in my stand. I use a wet-dry filter as a sump. I just took the bioballs out and added my skimmer and return pump. I even had a little room for a small fuge.

I have a 45 gal cube, same tank as youurs but shorter, and I have a 20 tall. It sticks out the back a little bit but it's all right. Or you can get a 15 tall and that is only 20" long.
