Sump Setup

[Napoliandy]

I have a 37 gallon cube tank. I recently made a sump refugium out of a 10 gallon tank I had in the garage. I can only fit a 10 gallon under my tank.
I was looking at all my options and I was hoping for some suggestions from people on the best way to go about this.

I actually bought a used 20 gallon off someone for ten bucks. Took it apart and cut the baffles myself. It came out pretty good, but I’m not sure the next steps. I have a few things in mind but I’m open for ideas. I was looking at the eclipse overflow box, either small or medium. Don’t know which one. Also, I’m not sure how to figure the return pump. What do you suggest.

I have eshoppes overflows. They work pretty good. And I have mine set up drain to filter sock first compartment. Skimmers in there. Next baffle seals to tank bottom so flow goes over. Next baffle is shorter sealed off the bottom so water goes under and this space I use for sponge filters. Then it goes to return section which is smallest section . Easier to have your return pump prior so u know how big your section needs to be. No fuge set up this way but if u have an extra baffle you can seal it in section between skimmer/drain and return section.
