First off, i was wondering if this is even possible? If it is, does anyone have any ideas on how to set it up. ALso if anyone has ideas for DIY overflow, it would be aprreciated.
here is a thread I started showing diy pvc overflow designs I cam up with: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/vb/s...highlight=trap
Sure you can use a 10g tank as a sump/refugium. But you may want to consider plastic storage containers instead. a 30-35g is around $10 from wall mart for instance.

Thanks. I did look into the rubbermaid containersbuti doubted their quality and capabilty of being a sump. My family is pretty handy so I was thinking of making my own acrycic tank. Only question I had was can I use the silicone from a hardware store as long as it is 100% silicone? Thanks.
