anyone have a design plan with baffle height, placement....

basically I have a 40b and a pile of glass I can cut.
I am thinking a few of you already did the work of figuring out all the math, just wondering who wants to let me copy their homework :)

I have a 180rr with a hf26 return pump. just want a basic 3 chamber sump design
 
There are many different layouts you could have. What is the recommended heigth for your skimmer?I would get 4 pieces of glass. 2 at whatever your skimmer wants ~9 I would assume and two at 12. I would put the return pump in the middle chamber and have the skimmer on one end and the fuge on another. I would make the fuge section 12" tall and 12 wide. make the skimmer section just big enough to fit the skimmer into it (with a little room to work) and you should be set.
