Plumbing help

[digital-audiophile]

So I think I might need a fellow reefers help.

I picked up a tank on the weekend and it has an overflow drilled on the left hand side of the tank, a glas over flow box has been siliconed in now and I am trying to figure out how to plumb this thing. I am not much of a DIY guy and this is the first time I will have ever dealt with a plumbed tank. I am going to get a sump built but since the stand is small I think it will have to be external to the tank. I have two options on where to place the tank in my basement. One is on a short wall as you come down the basement with the furnace room in behind. I thought that maybe I could cut a hole in the wall and place the sump in behind, this would meen a couple elbow turns and about 4 feet back into the tank. The other option is along another wall and I coukld put the sump on the right hand side of the tank, this would be about the same distance back to the tank, perhaps a little shorter. I don't have the space on the on the other wall where I could put the sump on the left hand side.

I can post some pictures and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
