Hello, I just got my hands on a 374 gallon tank with dimensions around 5ft x 2.5ft x 4ft high. I'm going to go with a a plain powder-coated steel stand so I can have as much room as I can for the sump.

I plan on making it a FOWLR tank at first, with maybe some softies down the road. I really don't want to do water changes on this tank and I want to try the Triton method with a sump around 10-30% of the tank size (pretty big). I'm having trouble finding a sump to fit the needs of this tank. Does anyone have any recommendations for sumps out there, custom sumps, or just overall layout for the sump.

This is my second tank and a big step up from 50g so I really appreciate and suggestions and advice. Thanks!
 
I apologize, I meant I am looking for a sump with a refugium 10-30% of the tank size.
 
Convert a regular tank into a refugium. Have the refugium feed a traditional (lack of a better word) sump for the protein skimmer and return.
 
Where are you located I have a 100gallon acrylic refugium. It measures 72x18x18. I live in NJ

Thanks for the suggestion, after researching more this seems like the best possible solution.
