    Here's the best website I ever found when it comes to sump building. The guy's a wizard with acrylic and I used sump design F. You'll find it all under DIY & Acrylic Work. The return pump really depends on what type of corals you're keeping, how big your bulkhead/tubing is, and the length of plumbing between the return pump and where it dumps into your tank. You can also put a ball valve on the return line if your overflow can't keep up.
