LF sump and return pump

Hey all. I'm looking for a sump or tank I can turn into a sump for a basement fish room and a return pump that can push at least 1000 gph after 14' of head.
Really looking for a larger sump (48" minimum) but not too deep - say around 18" max. It's going in a dedicated fish room so would even think of deeper type type former frag tank. If you know of anything or have something around let me know with a pm.
Oh, and preferably on the island or the cost of a ferry ride kills me

Thanks!

Bump!
Anyone have an old 80-120 gallon tank in their garage collecting dust? Doesn't need to be pretty.

If you ever come out this way a fish store on kingsway sells brand new 75g for $100, I believe gregzz4 also has a near new ehiem return pump for $150, your next best bet is a mag, pumping 14' is quite the travel up so you'd need a very strong pump... Maybe even a quiet one as they have decent pressure pumping up.
