Sump/Plans

I want to build a sump in a 50 G aquarium and need some plans on how the placement of baffels go.

how many do you want? what type of skimmer are you using? some people do over under... and some do under over. i only have do, i do over and then under with a sump sponge in the middle of the two, making my water and air bubble being forced to the service of the water and then through the sump sponge, wich is also a great way to rid the little suckers. hope this helps. do you plan on having an in sump refugium?
