this guy is the hook-up on making sumps, although your simple basic sump will work very well & what I use doesn't mean it doesn't hurt to look at some of these, they are nice, might give you ideas.

Hi Herbert
Here is a recent thread I thought you may like thats in the DIY forum

My Big Project: the sump (need help)

Flgoose is doing a good job on his sump. You just need to get some glass pieces cut to fit inside your tank and get a good size tub of silicone. I also get small little squares of glass, get around 6 small 1" squares of glass for each baffle you install. The squares you can silicone in place to make a pilot track if you will, then after the silicone squares dry you can just slide your baffles into your tracks then silicone them into place if you catch my drift?
