Well, You want as big of a sump as you can fit BUT you need to make sure it will fit thru the doors cause your tanks already filled. Yes I will teach you I have made a few. Do you want your skimmer in there? or just a fuge or what?

Well get about a 800 gph overflow and about a 700 gph return, Then get your tank that you want to use as a sump and find out how much room you need for your skimmer then fuge then return and mark lines and you want the small bubble trapes like in the pic. Then go to lowes and have them cut you some thick glass or acrylic for you. And then get aquarium safe silicone at your lfs and glue them in.

looks like exactly what im lookn for how many gals like 20?
I bet you could fit a 20 high or 29 in your stand. Like I said just make sure it will fit and you can get it thru the doors and make sure it will be big enuf to fit all your stuff. AND make the one baffle 1in above the bottom and the two baffles 1in apart

is there any way to just get a 10gal and put my skimmer down there? and not have to buy any of that stuff and do a ghetto overflow with some pvc or like rubber tubes?

I got a return I could sell you for cheap and let me find the thread for DIY overflow thats pretty cheap and easy. BUT you dont want to do this wrong or you will end up with a floor with water everywhere
