This is for Glam but thought may help.
This is how you build a quiet and effective sump.
First chamber contains an acrylic top with two holes cut for as large as possible filter socks. Not the tubing mst be below the water line so prevent splashing. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART Also at the bottom is a ball valve to make cleaning crud at the bottom a piece of cake.
Second chamber overflows from the first onto the drip tray and over the bioballs . Then under into the heater/charcoal whatever chamber.
3rd is for the pumps.
The other conglomeration of crap is my uv (essential) and drip system with a carbon filter.
Ask questions if I am unclear.
