It did turn out to be a real lazy DIY job. Here is my sump. 1st chamber is a rubbermaid bread container($7 at walmart). The water flow into the sump there. The intake for the skimmer and any chem. flitration sit in it. I notched the lip of the rubbermaid. The notches direct some of the water into the 2nd chamber of the sump. The 2nd chamber is the Bio chamber. It holds the Kent-BioSediment and the macro algea. The water from the 1st and 2nd chambers overflow all into the 29g tank which would technical make up the 3rd chamber. The 29g tank holds everthing in it. The return pump, heater and the other two chambers. None of it is glue together at all. the wieght of the 10 tank full of water hold it down and it pins the rubbermaid container in place.

It works good and required only setting everything together to get it done.
