build a sump for a 20 gallon

[clownfishcrazy]

Does anybody know how to build a sump, and overflow for a 20 gallon aquarium. The tank is glass and it is not drilled. I want to put a sump on it so I have more volume to the tank and get better filtration than my skilter 250.

here are some threads about overflows that may help.

as for sumps, just about any tank you have lying around will work. rubbermaid buckets also make great sumps. they come in many sizes.

I think I saw somebody who had a 150 gal sump/refugium on their 125 gal main display.

I am in the procces of seting up a 75Gal sump/refugium for my 38G display. the sump/refugium is in the basement , this will help keep the main floor display coll in the summer and hopfully give more stability to the over all water paramiters.
