Hello, I just purchased a 10-gallon tank so i could make a sump for a 29 gallon I have never done this, and I have no experience with sumps and would like to know what to do first and just what to do overall.

Ignore @BOYERZ good sump and instead look at this masterpiece:I have a 29 g dt
My sump is a 15 g
I would do a 2 chamber sump in your 10 g.
Hope you can get some ideas from this:
If it works do it! Keep it simple.
I am looking at acrylic kits and found some good looking ones I am not a big fan of filter socks considering the maintenance is there any cheap alternative will sponge/filter floss pads work?Really depends on what you want to do and what equipment you want to use. I Like a simple design (mostly cause it's easy for me to make without it being super ugly haha). One, two, or three baffles (no baffles works too). I also like to use a premade filtersock holder in the first chamber (if you have chambers).
Your sumo looks awesome I will definitely look back at this all kits I can find have three compartments and I was planning on acrylic.I have a 29 g dt

Yeah, foam or filter floss will work, just depends on how you will be holding it/mounting it. One options, and the option I would probably use if I wasn’t using socks (I actually use reef diapers but same principle) is a filter sock holder, a filter cup, and coarse/medium/fine filter foam:I am looking at acrylic kits and found some good looking ones I am not a big fan of filter socks considering the maintenance is there any cheap alternative will sponge/filter floss pads work?
That looks awesome so do you just put circular foam in it?Yeah, foam or filter floss will work, just depends on how you will be holding it/mounting it.

Thanks!Your sumo looks awesome I will definitely look back at this all kits I can find have three compartments and I was planning on acrylic.
I have one of those kits and it worked fine. I eventually upgraded to a filter roller and just ripped the filter sock section out of it (sliced my finger open in the process too).I am looking at acrylic kits and found some good looking ones I am not a big fan of filter socks considering the maintenance is there any cheap alternative will sponge/filter floss pads work?
