Petsmart.com has it for 160. I need a new sump for my 72 bowfront. I don't want to go the DIY rout, not enough time and ingenuity. Are there any other sumps that are comparable for less? I already have a DIY in sump venturi skimmer and rio 2500 pump.

Manufactured sumps tend to be incredibly overpriced for what they are. If possible, I'd suggest looking for a used one locally. If there's a marine club in your area, I'd start there. Craigslist is also a good place to look. You're likely to find a good used one for $50 - $75 (or less, depending on size) instead of paying $150+ for a new one.
