Can i build a sump on this setup?

[entranced]

So i'm starting in the hobby, i currently have the aquarium on the final days of cycling. The aquarium is 60cm long by 30cm deep by 50cm in height (90 litres, 23~ gallons)

I would like to build a sump, main reason being that i want to avoid having all the equipment on the display tank, aswell as increasing the stability and maybe have a refugium. The problem is that the stand is divided by half, where each side is 30x30x62cm.

Is that space enough to place a sump?

I have a little 30x22x22cm tank that fits in there but i can also build one myself or pay for a custom made one.

We don't have those factory made sumps available here that i see all over the forum lol, so those are my options. Another option i was thinking would be to make it in two tanks one on each side and place a bomb in the middle.

Cheers!

Looks nice, good start.
Would look to have two sumps. On the first one a little higher put skimmer and filter sock. Have it gravity fed into the second one with refugium and return pump.

Thats a good idea!, i have plenty of vertical space to make it gravity fed
