Help out with stock tank material question please.

Alright, so I am in the process of building a new sump for a basement system I have been planning for quite some time in order to help prepare for my 210 project which I have been dreaming of FOREVER. Once the 210 is up and running the temporary unit will act as a QT or just as an extra look down unit of some kind or I might plumb it in to the 210 as a means of justy increasing the water volume.

I got a stock tank from Menard when he closed his shop that is about 60 gallons. That will serve as the temporary look down display. No major issues there.

For the sump I am using this :

Thing is they call it a "Poly - Tuf Structural Foam Stock Tank" and I don't really know specifically what that is material wise. If I wanted to glue baffles in it rather then going the bucket route what would I use to glue them in place? What would be the best baffle material? As far as adhesive I am told that butyl rubber sticks to EVERYTHING. I am not sure if it leaches nasties out into the water though.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
I don't know how much the sides of this one will flex. Not that it won't but the upper lip is pretty big.
