Setting up a sump - first time ever, questions

I have a brand spanking new almost 60 gallon tank, ('16 by '18 by '48) and I am going to setup a sump for the first time ever. Soft coral and mushroom tank, so I don't want a lot of flow. Mostly I want this sump for growing cheato to keep my darned algae blooms under control. Don't need high flow for that I don't think...and it's probably going to be three feet from sump to overflow. Shouldn't have any sandstorms with less then 500 gph....I think.

 

My plan is as follows:

You are looking at a total sump noob, but I did find some good info using the search feature, and I think the above will do for what I want. Sump is going to be a 20 gallon long I think.

 

I want something plug and play.... So before I hit the checkout button am I missing anything?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

sounds good to me, but i would look into used overflow boxes (cheaper) and better pump (lower energy consumption).

 

also you need drain hoses and materials to make your baffles (acrylic, silicone, cutters etc)
