this is what i got so far as plans for setup, will change skimmer at later date, using ball valves at overflow and at return pump for adjusting flow.

Just go to Lowe's and have them cut plexiglass to fit. For bubble traps, use three baffles, the middle one 1-inch off the bottom, and the three of them 1-inch apart from each other.

hows this, this is the way he had it, 2 baffles were water enters and 1 were return pump is.

Looks good to me. I don't know why he has the gap in the return section baffle, you could just use a solid piece of plexi for that.
