Need some advice in regards to SW sump build...

I would like to start a salt setup using my 20 long. It seems as if the best route would be a sump. Any specific existing thread or any personal advice would be awesome. Should I use another 20 long, smaller, larger...?
thanks everyone !

Another 20 gallon would work great. You would have enough room to add a bubble trap for the tank drain line and two compartments, one for your skimmer and heater(s), and one for a return pump.

my advice is to go or the biggest sump you can afford / fit in your cabinet , you will always wish you had gone bigger
