Anyone know any tips or secrets

[songman]

I bought a 30L glass aquarium to build a filter system for my 75 oceanic. I have a local glass shop here in town that can cut out the pieces that i want. I have the basic setup idea down on paper and am trying to post it here in this thread.
anyway is there any tips or helpful advice for measuring, and glueing, i haven't found much with any of my searches, and have no experience glueing glass.
i figured just silicone the pieces in there, but should i make any fittings or brackets, or braces, like for under the bio ball chamber.
anyway, just looking to get some advice that might help me avoid a mistake.
thanks in advance

I'm new to sumps, but I think you want to avoid bio balls if possible.
I've also read that this is probably the best method of building a sump.

Here's a pic of what I'm trying to build.
