Default Adding a sump

I would very much like to add a sump to my 95 wave tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will tell you what I am thinking and let me know your idea's as am nervous about getting it right.

I am thinking of using a 25 gal tank that I already have. I do not think I will be able to use anything bigger because of how the opening in the stand is. But I have an empty 33 gal so will try and see if it will fit. If it will not is a 25 going to be okay? Any suggestions? Advice.

I will probably use a CPR overflow what size would I need? If going with the 25 gal? And if I were to use the 33 gal?

I am currently using a Remora Pro skimmer but I am getting a Deltec MCE 600
and would like it in the sump would this work?

If going with the 25 gal. Should I use the 3 sheets of glass in it or is it to small. The tank is 16" inches tall and 11 3/4" wide and 31 1/2" long.
Please let me know what reccomendations you have as I really would like to get this started but could really use some advice before I attempt this.

Thanks,
Leah
