sump/fuge what should I do? ? ? ?

I had recently made a purchase of a 125 gal tank, I had set it up and now i am going to add a fuge or a sump system, what are the pros and cons of either. what size would be proper for a 125 gal, equipment suggestions, return pumps. ect.I am prob going to go with a diy situation but I am pretty handy and see no reason to pay for something I can make with the proper research. so all of you out there please lay down the knowledge if you got it. ( remember I can go either or, not both there is physically no room for both) thanks for the help.

Here is what I have, it is sump/ fuge all in one piece. The tank is powered by a Sequence Dart pump=2400gph in my 120. Sump/fuge is acrylic. HTH

allright, at least I have an idea but how many gallons does it hold, what would be the proper volume for a 125?

Well mine is a total of 35g I think. My fug is 15g, full of Cheato algea and I have 0 Nitrates and 0 Phosphates. I guess size depends on what you want to do. This set up works real well for my 120g.
