55g sump build questions

[Sgoodwin3]

Im building a 55g sump and hoping for some advice on glass or acrylic dividers?
I'm thinking of going with 4 sections but it's my first sump build any advice will be helpful.

I like glass, it is cheaper and silicon sticks to it. Why 4 sections? There isn't really much reason for more than 3. Google search DIY builds for sumps and that should help. I just ended up finishing my 20 long DIY sump.

Thanks for the help much appreciated. I was thinking four sections to separate skimmer but not sure. Is it not worth it?

It can do into your intake section with any other equipment you want out of your tank.

This was my 55 gallon sump before i took all the baffles out. First section was skimmer. Second was fuge and heaters. And 3rd was the return.it should help you get an idea what you need .

I did four chambers in mine. It's a 75. One chamber for intake and reactors, then next was skimmer so I could regulate the height of the water in that chamber, the Refugium , and last was return
