There are lots of ideas, look here http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/search.php?searchid=8683766 I have done a search for you in the DIY section under this one. Your best bet would be to look there, get an idea about sumps and come back with more specific questions.
It isn't just the sump that is important, there is plumbing and pump sizing.
 
well i can get all the plumbing no matter what but is there any type of sump that works better, what diameter piping works better than the rest.
wat size tank for a 4.5ft tank.
