help in putting together my own sump

Hi just was wondering what I should use for baffles in my sump I purchased a 40 gallon long glass aquarium to place under my stand on my 125 gallon tank if someone can maybe send me a diagram of how I would set it up and also would I use acrylic cut to size or should I use glass and glue that in and silicon them I was told not to use acrylic for baffles with a glass aquarium.... I want to know where everything should be placed in the sump as far as skimmer, live rock, refugium, buble trap and return sorry for so many questions I'm new to this but I am loving every minute of it... thanks in advance

You can use glass or acrylic either one for the baffles. Just be sure that if you glass, when you have it cut to size, make sure they polish the edges good for you. Cut peices of glass have very sharp edges if they aren't polished.
