Sump set up question ...
Hello all. I'm new into this hobby and will be setting up a 46G BF FOWLR tank. I am kinda intimidated in how a sump is hooked up to the tank. I'm not going to drill the tank at all, but will get an overflow box. How exactly and what is needed to get the sump going. Any instructions/pics step by step can be appreciated. Would a 10 gallon tank be good for a sump ? Thank you.

Do the biggest sump you can afford and fit...
I am doing the same thing with my 50G and using a CPR overflow box

try to do 7 to 10 x times the flow and your tank will be prestige
