First time DIY Refugium 20 gallon long

This is my first time building a DIY Refugium. I have read lot and lots of threads on this and have not yet found what I am looking for.
I have a 20 gallon long glass aquarium that I would like to make into the following setup skimmer->return pump<- refugium (in this order) and am looking for ideas or anyone else who has done this. I have seen lots of layout but can't figure out the exact sizes of the baffles and what size to make the chambers (skimmer, return pump, refugium)
Then I am not sure what size overflow to get? 300? 600? I would have 2 inlets, one for the skimmer and the other refugium.
or what size return pump I would need?
I have heard I could use aquarium sealant to bond glass and acrylic. Will this work good?
Please help???
Thank you
