Default 55g sump design need advice...

If this works you should see a sump I came up with on google sketch it. It's a 55g tank, I don't know the dimensions of the tank cause I have not picked it up yet. It should be 48" long though and 18" high I think. I figured I would divide the tank into three equal parts. Water enters from the overflow into the far left of the sump goes over a baffle and into the fuge in the center. Then through the other three baffles (thats a bubble trap right?) and into the chamber on the right out the bulkhead to the pump and back to the tank. Does this sound right? I need to know how big the baffles should be and how far apart to space them for the bubble trap. I think the skimmer should go in the last chamber on the right? And as far as the first chamber just some bio balls? Don't leave out any details in your input/criticism I have never done this before so all info is helpful.

Tanks a lot
