Actually, you are better off using it for a breeder tank or quaranteen tank. You would be better off getting a 20g container for your sump. A ten gallon tank shrinks pretty fast when you start sectioning it and making room for the pump.

yea make a nice lil Quarantine hospital out of it... Get a 25 G rubbermaid, and BOOM theres your SUMP!

THANKS GUYS. MAKING THE DYI SUMP SEEMS TO BE VERY COMPLICATED. BUT YOUR RIGHT . BREEDER TANK.. 25 GAL RUBBER MAID.

Take a little time to read up on them, they are much simpler then they look from the outside.

I made a 20 gallon into a wet/dry that will be filtering my 40 gallon.... 10 gallon on a 100 tank is pretty small depending on your shocking density.
