Default building a sump

I want to add a sump to my 29g aquarium. I am not very crafty. Can someone provide me with some information on how to build one?

where do I get the parts and what do I need EXACTLY?

Maybe someone can sell me one?

Everything you always wanted to know about a sump

I'm building one myself, for my 55 gallon. That'll give you info an how to build one. The key question to answer is how much stuff you want in there. I'm going to putting all the filters, heater, protein skimmer, and pumps into mine.

Good Luck

I have found quite a few for doing DIY aquarium style. I'm excited by that. I hate spending money on anything I can build myself.

Calcium Reactor

Tom Miller's Site Really good site for a lot of DIY projects.

Melev's Reef Another good DIY site. I have others, but they're on my home computer, and I'm at work. I'll try to remember to post them later, or send them in.

You can also check Reef Central, they have a huge list of DIY stuff over there.

I frequent both sites regularly.
