Default sump questions

so, im making a 20 gallon sump out of two ten gallon tanks. The reason i am putting two 10's together is so i can fit them under my 55. I will be taking one sie of each 10 off and glue the thanks together that way. Also, i plan on having a 1/2 inch pvc pipe drain that goes from the 55 to to the sump. then the return pump will actually be my fluval 405 (360 gph). I am making my own overflow box fomr a small speciman container and a large speciman container and a little acrylic. The siphon will be with some PVC pipe elbows. Here are my questions:

1. Is the two 10's glued together with silicon sealer a good idea?
2. What size bulkhead should i get?
3. Is the DIY overflow box a plausible idea?
4. ANY RECOMENDATIONS ARE WELCOMED!
