Hi Chris Rex. I don't know the height of that skimmer but to be safe I would take the height and add 25 to 50%. If you are planning for a Herbie then a 1 inch drain, 3/4 emergency and a 3/4 return could work. Subsequently you could do two 1/2 inch returns as well. I have a 65 gal Aqueon tank and the glass is 5/8. You can find a thickness calculator online, but I can't remember where. Don't think the glass needs to be tempered at all, just an extra expense. Just use float or starfire with pink foam for a base. Good luck.
