ok, but I have a question for you, would that slow down flow through the sump, does the number of baffles matter? They are about 1in apart.

No it won't slow down the flow. The flow is determined by the return pump.
Alternatively you could just move the baffle from the far end of the return section to the left side of the 'fuge. That way you'd have baffles that reach the bottom on both sides of the 'fuge but no more total baffles than originally.
You could also just put in a short baffle of a few inches to simply hold the sand and run the water level well above the top of the added baffle. Does that make sense?

yes that makes perfect sence, I will add a like 5inch baffle or so, then I can have like a 2-3in sand bed, along with LR and cheato.
Thanks for the help!

mike, I think we have that covered, my dad has a table saw and a miter box saw. and we can get really nice cuts
Another update:
We finished the stand today, also put resesed holes for 4 wheels, each has a weight limit of 250 lbs. We also bought some more wood, and figured out all measurements.
We are using birch plywood for the sides and doors, and pine for the front because then you will see the good sides of the pine and not the plywood. Also the halides came today, but they will just be sitting in my room for a while.
Here is a pic, to support the tank, on the vertical 2x4's we used biscuts and gorrila glue, which is the same thing we did on my brothers 75.
