I’d like a bit of education on sumps please…

Basically, i was thinking of setting up a sump in the cupboard under my tank. am i right in thinking all i need to do this is;
1) a power head to pump the water out of my tank and into the sump.
2) a tank with glass sheets siliconed into the right places.
3) filter media
4) a power head to pump the water back up to my tank.

Also, this would be for a tropical tank.

is there any point in this other than increasing the water content for the fish and the fact that it will be easier to maintain than a canister filter?

Thanks
