First step is to decide how many and how large the compartments will be. You also need to know how many baffles you want. Next you'll need to get the material for the baffles, I used acrylic but if I were to build another sump from a glass tank I'd definitely go with glass baffles. Don't skimp on the thickness of the material, too thin and it will be too easy to break. For the tank sizes you are using I'd to use glass the same thickness as the tank walls. If the baffles are to go from front to back you'll want the width to be about 1/16" to 1/8" less than the inner dimension of the tank. Do yourself a favor and search the DIY forum for DIY sump projects before you buy or build anything else. You'll have the benefit of seeing what / how others have done it.
