appropriate sump for 100 gal

[T]

Hi I'm new to this filtration thing. I never realy thought it was important. But now I wanna start up my overflow system and I was wondering how big of a sump I would need for a 100 gal.
And any help with building a rubbermaid sump?

Id say a container thats bout 40 gal would be good. say 1/3 of it for Bio media.

I used a 20 gal Long for the wet/dry on my 75.
