Seen this video on youtube and the first thought was this would be great for a sump. The IKEA glass appears to have a slight tint to it and the sizes tend to get pricey the larger you go. I know you can't beat the petco Aqueon aquarium price until you get up to 40 gal. It will still involve some DIY skills but for some this may fit the DIY sump bill.

It’s a lot easier to build a sump with a used premade tank. Just get baffles cut at a glass shop.
