Okay so i have a 15 gal high tank cycling right now and i am wondering if it is possible to install a sump. If so, what size tank should i get for the sump and how should i go about setting it up or designing it? Any information will help.

A five gallon is all that I have room for. Would there be enough room to have 3 chambers in a tank that small?
It's going to run at a very low level. I'm not sure it's even worth putting a 5gal sump in IMO.
well one way to do it is have a chamber for your sock where the tank overflows in to through the triple baffles (to get air bubbles out) into the refugium in the middle so all the water flows through your good algae then another set of baffles and the return pump in the last chamber. The heater can go any where as long as it's not jammed against something. Your skimmer will put a lot of air in the water so you want it to dump into the sump before one set of baffles to get the air bubbles out before going back into the display unless you like lots of bubbles in it lol. You could but it in the first if it will fit or in the third but just put the discharge into the middle part of the sump.
