to make a sump just put the stuff in it.

most people that build thier own sumps have specific equipment that they designed the sump around. this may not work with he equipment you plan on putting in the sump. if you can list the equipment you would like to put in the sump, we can prolly come up with a system that will work.

20h are a little harder to work with than a 20L, but still doable.
