Im sure this can go in the beginners section as well, but I am not well rounded in taking precise measurements.

I have a 125 gallon (72 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 23 3/8)
that I am making into a sump. I am trying to make a cut list can someone help me out? For example, if the outside measurement is 18 1/2, what should I cut the baffle to be?

Just don't want to waste hundreds on glass because I can't measure lol

cheers

I sent him a message. To be clear, I'm not asking how I should divide the sump and section it, rather the measuring and cut list to bring to a glass shop.

thanks

tank width 18 1/2 minus glass thickness, minus an extra 1/16 will give you the width of baffle for height determine the depth that your skimmer requires.

Basically it's exactly what edd suggested. I had to figure out how I wanted my sump to look like and what my needs were. Got my baffles cut, bought my aquarium silicone and boom back in business. Does t take long. Just be patient. Good luck
