My first day on this forum so hopefully this is a good place to post this. I'm looking for some direction as where to even start on a sump for a 25 gallon tank, it's not pre drilled and I will probably use an overflow. Anyone have any links or places to buy a pre made one?

I'd look for a used one that fits or an inexpensive 10-15g glass tank then glue in some baffles to accommodate your skimmer and heater. If you just search the word sump here you'll find hours of information to browse.

Cheers, Todd

Here is a link for information about sumps and how they work that you might find useful. Building your own sump is not difficult.

lso, if the tank is not set up and running yet, I would strongly encourage you to drill it and install an overflow. It will be much easier on you in the long run.
