how to build a sump

[RibbonFish]

Hi folks,

Where can I find some articles about building a sump? The tank is about 40-55 gallon. How large the sump should be?

Thanks

Mike

You want the sump as big as you can stuff under the stand.

Don't forget to add stuff like heater holders, filter sock holders, effulent box , probe holders



abd the bubble trap (the three baffles on the left side)

Lemonyx, do you have any more pictures of your sump? I would love to see it from different angles.
