Start with a drawn picture starting at the back of your tank and how you want the water to get into your sump. Then have a second picture of your sump and how you want the water to move through it to the return then draw the lines back to the tank. I took my sketch like that to lowes and hung out in the plumbing section till I had all the pieces I needed to make it work. Another good place is that Melvin website I linked in and earlier post. Option #3 is have a friend that has done it a few time help you. It's a totally personal thing that is hard to explain in a post I guess. If me posting some of my awful drawings would help let me know....

I have the idea in my mind its just a matter of making it happen. Do people generally use stiff PVC or different tubing like spa tubing, etc.? Will return pumps attach directly to PVC?
