well to make it around 2-3 inchs would be good. ALso if you go to walmart they sell old castle so u can get 2 50 lb bags for like $10 and then get a bag of live sand from the LFS. This will end up saving you alot of money on sand.

The first pictures are of my oceanic sump (paid $200.00) it hold about 30 gal of water. The third picture is one we make from a 20-gal tank, cost about $30.00 to make. Will be putting the pump on the left had side and sand on the right hand side. So to make this you will want your glass on the sand side to go to the bottom of the tank and the next piece of glass will be off the bottom about 2 inches. Water from the tank will run into the side with the sand and flow over the first piece of glass and under the second. I have some of those round ceramic filter thing and a sponge between the two pieces of glass. The sponge gets pretty dirty and I clean it every other ware change. Hope this helps.
