Sump questions

[Sexytang]

I’ve been in the hobby 11 months now and have a 36g bowfront that has came along way and think I’m doing good for my first ever reef. At the moment I’m only running a hang on back with carbon and polyfil pillow stuffing no skimmer nothing. I’m really thinking after Xmas I’m going to build a sump for this tank and was wounding a few things. What all should I have in my sump probably won’t have a skimmer for awhile do to can’t afford one for a bit
And what size pvc pipe do I need to make my overflow with.

It all depends on the overflow your adding and you can add a refrugium and your tank looks like it's doing great don't change what your doing or don't do a drastic change if it's thriving like this

That tank looks impressive for 11 months and no sump. You obviously have things dialed in. Why fix what isn't broken?

Agree. That tank is great. Is there a reason or goal by adding the sump.
