The baffles in between bubble trap? Also, what makes good stand for Skimmer? Styrofoam?

While it's great to get as much water in there as possible while it's running, you don't want it overflowing when it's not. Give yourself some extra room to work with. You can calculate it or just test it with an empty sump and mark how much it raises from the height it's running vs the height when it's off.
I use 1/4" cell cast acrylic. Much less flimsy and easy to cut.
I just went to lowes and had glass cut. It's pretty thin but I haven't had any issues. It's just Over 1/16"
