Getting Mitch to build you one in time may be a tall order though ... a 33g tank also works well. 1/4 inch glass is pretty cheap though and readily available at most glass shops

The easiest way I found to put baffles into irregular shaped plastic sumps was to build a free standing acrylic box insert with baffles inside.
