I am very new to the reef hobby and currenty have a 20 gallon sump. I have decided to add a refugium to the sump but wasn't to sure on the best way to do this. I'm just looking for what i need and how to set it up.

Thanks
Dan

Here is a pic of the one I built.

I just bought a tank, some acrylic and some aqaurium silicon and there it is.

I did use my router to make the overflow teeth.
