Have a look at the DIY section, but unless you are running a HUGE (200+ gallon tank) I think a canister would be a better way to go.

I don't have a tank big enough to need a sump either, but I am going to build one, so I can learn!

I know you are supposed to use a minimum of 1/4 the tank volume. So I would do a 15 or 20 gallon!
