Hi, SnaKiZe. Hope you don't mind...I moved your thread to the sump forum. Hopefully you'll get more response here.

Take measurements. Know how tall your skimmer is and how high you want the water level. Have a glass shop cut acrylic baffles to your specs. Use "Mr. Sticky's Underwater Glue" for the baffles and seal them with silicone. Run your plumbing and you're set.
