10g DIY sump plans

Does anyone out there have plans for a 10 gallon sump setup they would like to share? I'm looking into building one for my 55g DT. I currently have everything as hang on and would like to get all the filtration equipment underneath my tank. I need room for a skimmer, emperor system, and my UV. The UV could go inline on the return line it would probably be better to do it this way anyways.
Also any recommendations on overflow boxes and return pumps.
Thanks.

IMO I wouldn't put the UV in line with your return. Put a flow valve on the inlet of your UV to slow down the rate. They are more effective that way. Just put in and out in the sump. That's what I did works great.
