How handy are you? I built my own sump for a couple hundred, sounds expensive, but really quite easy if you have the time and patience. This also allows you to create the tank you really want. If i had to do it again, I would not have bought my acrylic tank i would have made it. If you consider, send me a message, i can give you a ton of ideas and tips, can also see if i can show pics of my set up.

Careful with shipping. I had an acrylic tank shipped and arrived very broken.

Aquarium Designs deals with Tenecor, Enrique is his name. His store is only open for a few hours each day though. Website is aquariumdesigns.ca.
Other one is Marine Aquaria, he does both glass and acrylic I think. There was also one guy that I bought some flowerhorns from that built his own tanks out of plexiglass. I think he is building one for someone right now.

Build your own. Get the supplier to cut the pieces you need, haul them home stick them together. Working with acrylic that is precut is a snap.

You should rethink acrylic unless you are doing something unusual, I just got rid of mine because it was such a pain to clean without causing scratches and hazing. Coraline LOVES acrylic and it's frustrating to remove.

Or you could have the one in my yard. :P
