Sump/overflow for 125

I’m taking it slow and easy with setting up a 125 that I was given by @Paulie069 (aka the man) and finally honing in on what to do. It seems drilling is far more recommended than an over-the-top overflow so I’m getting myself ready to drill so next comes planning the overflow, plumbing, and sump. I currently run all over the back equipment on my 65 so this is new territory for me. Any wisdom/guidance is appreciated.
It seems the ideal size for a sump for the 125 would be a 55. If anyone has anything available for that let me know. I toyed with the idea of that 180 from @amado and putting it on a guardian workbench like @DangerDave but smaller in the cabinet is probably best. What’s the best strategy for me to find or make a good sump?
I have to play with how things lay out in my basement but ideally I’d love to set it up peninsula style, though I don’t known if that’ll work. Even if it does, I’ll be able to have plumbing on both sides so intake and return can be set up same side or opposite side.

I have a 55 with community freshwater fish (I believe you have seen it). Anyway... in a couple weeks I will be transferring them to a larger tank. You can have that 55 when I empty it
 
Wow Sponge, that’s great. If you don’t need it or want to keep it around that’s amazing of you. Thanks!

No problem. Super happy you can use it. I’m in West Virginia at the moment but expect to be back in a week and should be good to set up the other tank and transfer
 
Hey buddy. I got back to NJ the other day and have begun the transfer of the occupants in the 55 gallon tank. Should be ready for pick up by midday tomorrow. There is a stand that supports it. And you are welcome to take it. But I must warn you. That although it will support the tank it is old and not the best looking stand around. Just let me know when you want to grab it

Hey, thanks. I hope your travels have gone well and You’re feeling good! (apparently didn’t hit send earlier)
all good. Thank you. Tank is fully transferred and cleaned. I placed on my front porch. So you can grab it anytime any day that’s convenient for you. Doesn't matter if I am home or not. I’m even totally ok if you don’t call because you happen to be out and grab it unplanned What ever works for you.
