| What kind of skimmer are you making? is it HOB, or an in sump model?
if you used a sump how far from the display will it be in vertical feet? That'll determine the kind of pump you'll need to return the water to the display. usually a sumps water line is alot lower than the water in the display, this allows a little room for water if power goes out, less chance of flooding your house. So I don't think your HOB filter will work. there really is no "right" way to make a sump. Some people use baffles to seperate the water coming in from the water going out. Others don't, and I think that's the case for Teri's sump.
Do a search for Sumps on this site, I guarantee you'll find what you need. It's pretty simple, nothing too complicated. a 10 gallon aquarium would work as a sump without any modifications.
