Thank you!IMO, that’s the place to start. Once you decide on the overflow, we can piece together the rest

Yes, your overflow will deliver water from the tank to the sump. So, you will need a pump to return water to the tank. Looking at your pictures above, the pump will go in the right side chamber of the sump. Depending on the overflow you decide on, you’re going to want a submersible return pump rated for 300-600 gallons per hour.
Thanks for your help! I’ll get the overflow
No problem at all. Which overflow are you thinking about?Thanks for your help! I’ll get the overflow
Yep, Jeff’s website has always needed a little work. But, his products are top notch.
I’m not really familiar with them, so I’ll go with your suggestion and get that one
Now, we’ll need to decide on a pump. I’m a little old school and still use a rio pump for my 40 gallon. I couldn’t find the Rio I have for sale, but the pump in the link below would be a good old school one.I’m not really familiar with them, so I’ll go with your suggestion and get that one

I know that DC controllable pumps are the rage lately. But, honestly, I don’t know much about them. I’ll let someone who knows more chime in.
Ah, good deal, Sicce is a good brand. Now, you’ll need tubing or PVC to go from the pump and back to the tank. And something like this to hang on the tank.
I was thinking PVC as well, again just not sure what goes where but it maybe it’ll make more sense once I have all the partsAh, good deal, Sicce is a good brand. Now, you’ll need tubing or PVC to go from the pump and back to the tank. And something like this to hang on the tank.

Personally, I just fashion a return get out of PVC.
Happy to walk you through it once you get the overflow. For pump back to tank, I use black vinyl tubing. No reason you can’t use PVC, the tubing is just personal preference.I was thinking PVC as well, again just not sure what goes where but it maybe it’ll make more sense once I have all the parts
