Does it have overflows already? If it does and you're running the tank with other filters under the overflows then you can run a very small pump and be ok with a 20g.
If you are going to make overflows out of PVC then you'll have to make them at just the right height. Either way, you will probably not be able to have big enough of a pump to put your heaters in it.. That is just a guess though, since I've never used a sump that small with heaters in it.

you could always go get a big rubber maid...i think you could get a 20 to work..u just have to have it set up right
Ya you don't want to do any less then a 1/3 your tank size, bigger is always better, but smaller will just cause a big mess.
Isnt the amount of biomedia more important than the size of the sump tank? You can have a 3ft tall tower full of biomedia tricking into a 20 tank. Your saying this wouldnt make a difference?
