First chamber you want the the overflow going into. You make 8- 9 inch baffle and room for your skimmer.

I then added a second section with a 6-7 inch baffle for my refugium.

I did a bubble trap baffle and then to my return section.
The last section is where you height varies and you setup your ATO and return pump.

I bought a marine bio systems kit for my 20L off ebay. You can see how the baffles are laid out.
