45 gallon tank sump build

[Ray Laneville]

Hello,
I have acquired a 45 gallon tank that I want to make a triton compatible sump out of. The listed dimensions of the tank are 36 1/4 x 12/5/5 x 23 3/4. I'll probably cut the baffles myself or have them cut at a local glass shop. I'm new to this so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best piece of advice if you're going triton would be make the fuge area as big as possible without compromising space for your other equipment you may want to use (skimmer, reactor, return pump ect...) Best bet would be look at the layout of an actual triton sump, and mimic it but to what your individual needs are
