hope this helps i am not finished yet and if u want more information on my actual dimensions i am using, pm because i'd be glad to post the dimensions i am using:D
 
those are the exact links I was going to post as well, if I were you I would go larger than 10 gallons for the sump though, bc at that size, the cost looks to outweigh the benefits imo.

wuts costs r u thinking of? the only costs i am going to have is for media, and maybe a valve or two for the tap! i have pvc all roun the house, extra silicone from other projects, 10gallons from the kids, and plexiglass from other projects too! there are relatively no costs
