I won this and not quite sure how to go about plumbing it.
My lfs recommended a hob filter and small power head.
The frag tnk is made by building an obsession.
TIA

Nice tank!

Looks like it's an all in one style tank. I would see if you could just put a return pump in the back chamber and (if there isn't already) drill a hole in the over flow box, opposite side of the weir for the return plumbing and bulkhead.

If you really want to add a sump, make sure the glass is not tempered before drilling! Then, if it's not tempered I would drill the bottom behind the over flow box.
 
Nice win! I would recommend a Sicce pump. I have one in my 20g nuvo and it works great. Easily fits in back chamber
 
its acrylic if i'm not mistaken...and its not drilled
yeah not a bad raffle win spent 75 bucks on tickets

I'm assuming 1/2 return and 3/4 drain lines
