    Does anyone have a guide of how to build a sump for my 30 gallon? I have a 10 gallon tank to use. Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated!

    You might want to look into a 20 long would be much easyier to build and give you that much more water volume, a ten gallon sump will only add about 5 gallons maybe 6-7
