I'm not positive I know what you are asking. If you don't have one, you need an overflow box.
You have tons of options but the obvious is Bio-Balls. If you want to got more DIY, then use potscrubbers. I have seen lots of stuff used for media.
As for dividers, it depends on how detailed you want to go. I am building a sump out of a 40gallon. I pays to search this forum and see what others have done and take the best from each design.

Not sure they would push enough water for you. Get a Rio. They are cheap and work decent.
