I need some help,,, lol I know you all probably knew that ,lol ---
This past weekend and with the addition of the new skimmer which has a huge pump that is now in the tank and looks bulky, Ive decided I need a sump.. I have no idea where to start... First off the sump can NOT go below the tank, no room.. I h ave plenty of room off the the left(behind the tank).

I have a 40 gallon long sitting around that my boyfriend wants to use but I know and im trying to tell him it wont be big enough.

I like Billys set up with the sump and refugium...

I dont want to drill my tank...I dont know how to go about the pump sizes to and from the tank....any ideas would be great...
