Its super easy to do and the materials aren't that pricey. I would go with acrylic baffles since glass can be a bit of a pain with the sharp edges. Acrylic can be sanded easily. I just bought an .220 thick piece at homedepot for my project and got some acrylic. I marked the tank where I wanted the sections. I found it was easier to keep them in place with the tank on its side too.
