Hello everyone.


I need to design my sump for a 55.  The stand has very narrow requirements and the protein skimmer that I want to use is very tall (Has to have a tall water line) 
 
So all I could find that would work is a 16 high (20 x 10 x 19)
 
I have been going over potential designs in my head.  Obviously that is not alot of floor space to work with.  And it definatly has to be able to take all the overflow water.  Anyone have any good layouts and advice?  I am a total newbie to making my own sump.  Thanks

What do you want in your sump besides the protein skimmer?
