If I were you, I'd just buy a pair of 10 gallon tanks similar to this:

It is 20 inches long and you could just use silicone to put in some acrylic baffles if you wanted.

how much opening do you have on top? can't you put the sump in from the top, before you put the tank on the stand?

This is what I always do. Usually I'll have to remove any bracing at the top of the stand, put the sump(s) in, and reattach any bracing that was there before.
