Sump and fish looks good, tank is a bit bare and boring for my tastes though.

Look at the pictures above, the sump is the smaller tank full of filter stuff under the main tank.

Nice set up , piece of bogwood and some floating plants would brighten it up

But how does the filter clean the upper tank if it is in the lower tank

Plenty of threads in the DIY filters and tank sections. Go look over there and I assure you you'll figure it out

Water drains from the top tank into the sump, flows thru the filter stuff, then is pumped back up the top. As above, have a look thru the DIY section, or even look up "how does an aquarium sump work" on youtube/google, loads of info out there.

As of. Now I am getting a 5ft*1.5*1.5 ft in the next week
I gt a boyu submersible filter with a power head can that act like a filter for a 5 ft tank or do I need smthing bigger than the power head filter?
I had gone through a couple of vids bout a sump like u guys inf me but the concept still isn't clear to me though
