I just uploaded some pics to my gallery. There is one in there of the sump setup in my 65g tank. The drawing is probably more informative as the sump is tucked under a cabinet and all of the plumbing goes up the back of the tank. Hopefully you'll get the idea, though.

Two other things I forgot to mention are a light for growing the calepera (pretty cheap setup easily obtained at HD) and a float switch, to shut off the pump if the water in the sump gets too low. This is a good safety net to have. If for some reason the overflow doesn't keep up with the return pump, the water level will drop in the sump and the pump will shut off before I empty my sump onto my bedroom floor!
