Getting a new tank ready, just transferring all water fish etc into it which is already cycled but I need a sump.

This is what I have- light (Need new one, put recommendations below cheaper the better), fluvial mini protein skimmer, heater, a return pump from an old fluvial 13.5 also which idk if its too small or what, and a wave maker. also have live rock, and live sand.
Question - what is a very cheap sump build for a 50 gallon tank? I can go to petco and buy a little 10 gallon tank for like 15$ probably so I'm thinking that but, if I can save money anywhere please let me know.
can I use my fluvial mini skimmer?

Please make a list of stuff I will need thank you guys!
