    My 54gal corner has a Amiracle sump, which looks like they are no longer made. Though I did find Berlin, AE Tech, Eshopps, & others that are not very wide, 11" or so. Hope this helps.

    Could something like this work? My stand has Two doors on each end. Is it possible to build a sump that connects on each end with a tube in the middle that connects them?? I drew up a quick sketch just of the top of my head of the basic idea.. Only think i can think of that may need to change is the piping that connects the two parts of the sump may need to be at the top of each of the containers The dark black lines are the outline of my stand with the doors open on each end.
