depends on what you want. must of us take a 20~30 gallon tank and convert it into a sump by installing glass baffles. that way we can create exactly what we want. some people will build their own out of acrylic and customize it to fill the exact needs of the set-up. Or if you have the money you can spend a lot more on one already built or having someone make it for you. either way you should check out melevs site (http://www.melevsreef.com/allmysumps.html) to get an idea on the different types of sumps and what you should look for when designing one.

HTH good luck

im using a 20G long and used baffles that i had cut at lowes. turned out to be a pretty good sump
