The sump will be a 20g Long. I haven't purchased it yet, because I'm still plotting and scheming!

I really want to keep my equipment all IN the sump, having external devices makes me nervous. The only thing I want to worry about is my plumbing.

I definately plan on using 1" Flex PVC return line up to the Y, then it will be 3/4" everywhere else. I may use the 1" FlexPVC before the Y in the drain line as well. I plan on using 3/4" bulkheads all around, with a 1" PVC Durso.

I need to figure out how to make a professional looking overflow, and I need to figure out how far down from the trim the overflow needs to be to keep the water level high enough that you can't see it through the glass.
