If you want to improve on that system, then include a second bucket filled with gravel and with the incoming water flowing all the way down to the bottom of the gravel by a pvc pipe with a T at the bottom and 2 pvc extentions filled with holes, so that the weight of the gravel will keep it in place, then the water will flow from the bottom of the bucket up thru the gravel and overflow via pvc pipes at the top into the buck with scrubbers, water will exit at bottom and pumped back to the tank.

say did you have holes cut into ur tank for the overflow pipes.

@cichlids4everdotcom ooh ok thanks, that helped alot
-
Is it possible to put a heater in the sump? or will it mess up the plastic?

@mistaevanson My suction is performed by my overflow. I do not use a PVC overflow. the PVC you see me pull out is my return from my sump.

@jazminaccount209 I would just use a similar design but make it larger. Maybe two buckets in a larger rubbermaid bin? I have a different sump running on my 180, also DIY. I used the bin from the sump in this video as the media chamber instead of the bucket. I have it inside a larger bin. I think I have a video of it.

do you still have this sump running?

@Coltons350z No, that tank is not running anymore. I have upgraded to a 180 gallon tank. See my other videos for my new sump design.
