My 120 wasn't a great set up and hoping to learn from my mistakes and I want to get a real nice reef setup going

You could look for pre made or go baffle less using live rock to create "chambers". Also, I believe the CTARS May meeting is all about sumps, so you can learn a bunch about them!

Hey Jason I believe this is gonna work..
Ok I checked and the dimensions are right. The only odd thing with this sump is it has a bulkhead opening with a drain elbow on the back of the sump. Look on the back left of the picture.

I do it all the time and it's very simple as long as the glass in not tempered.
