Info on Buying a Sump?

[FishFinatic ;)]

I have an 120 gallon tank, and it's still in the process of being set up. I wanted to originally build a sump, although life has gotten too crazy and nowadays it doesn't seem like there's time. So, my next option, is buying one. Does anyone know of a not-overly-expensive sump I can buy that would be suitable for my size tank and where I can get one? I was looking on Ebay and OfferUp although I think I want something new, of course, there's nothing wrong with buying a used sump although that's just my preference when it comes to setting up a brand new tank. My budget is maybe around $200-ish dollars, so if anyone has any info on that, it'd be greatly appreciated :)

I found pre-built sumps to be crazy expensive, and I didn't have the time/desire to Full-on DIY so I went halfway, got a 40B and bought a baffle kit: https://www.fijicube.com/collections/sump-and-filteration.

Ended up costing me ~$160 and I've been very happy with how it all turned out.

Mine on my 75 gallon DT is a 20 long, with a plastic weave basket to hold the chaeto and have plenty of room for my return pump and skimmer. I don't have an issues with bubbles getting into the DT so I don't see a need for baffles or need for more room. .

Ooooooo okay.... I like that idea a lot... I will definitely look into that I already have the 40 breeder (when I was planning on going full DIY) and now I really like that idea of doing half and half. Never thought of that... thank you so much!
