I'm new to building sumps and I just bought this one from LFS because he said he was giving me a deal for it. Problem is I don't know how to use filter socks. I was too ashamed to ask him how I should set it up. So can someone tell me where to start to build this sump? I have already bought the necessary bulkheads and a 950 GPH pump.

Do I still need bio balls? and how should I install new acrylic sheets?

Here's the pics of it (note that there are two inputs I believe because there are two filter socks and one output at the right side of the tank):
