10 Gallon DIY Perfecto/Marineland Refugium/Sump

I have 2 extra tanks for a small project I am attempting. I want to get some glass panels cut for a small refugium sump for a 30 gallon system.

The problem is I can't seem to find the dimension I am going to need for the baffles. I am curious has anyone else had these cut before? What dimensions are you using? Did it work?

I bought 8X10 sheets at HD (made for picture frames) and trimmed along the side (took off about 1/16 of an inch) worked great and cost less than 20 bux for the baffels and silicone. If you have never cut glass buy a pratice peice along with the cutter and cutting oil.
