I have this little tank sitting around. 15 or maybe a 20 gallon. I wanna. Turn it into a sump but need ideas and help to do it. Any one got a plan ? I believe i have one will share the building process when it happens

Id like to add its going on a 36 gallon tank. Right now im hang on the back everything so im hoping this will get rid of some of that mess and clean up my display tank
 
About the size of my sump :)
I put a single wall in mine (off the top of my head) roughly 2/3 the way across about 2/3 the height if the tank. Just enough for my skimmers height and the second chamber just big enough for my return pump.
I'll post pics later.
 
Kool. Thinking i might do a filtersock obviously then a small refuge. A hang on tbe back skimmer and then the ruturn
 
Sounds good. Nice, simple and easy to clean :)
I added an external fuge on mine instead of one inside my sump as I'll need a big fuge for extra nutrient export. Its something to look into as you will fill up the sumps fuge pretty quickly.
