Generally most tanks with sumps have a hole cut in to the bottom of the glass and a pipe is fixed in, approx 30mm pipe. As Linda said the sump is an addtional tank set below your main tank where the filtration sits and you can also put in stuff like your heater and skimmer. Also the will be room for a pump to return the water back to the main tank.My advice would be to go to a fish shop that have marine set-ups and they will show you a sump set-up.
