Thinking of using a 100G Rubbermaid stock tank as a sump. Has anyone found an effective way to still have filter socks on these? Also the new stock tanks seem to be styrofoam. Will this cause any issues with adding bulkheads or siliconing baffles in place?

Is there a reason that you need to drill the stock tank? I haven't drilled either of the stock tanks that I am currently using as sumps.

Baffles should still work with a bit of creativity. Another approach, in place of baffles, would be to add chambers within the stock tank (depending on the requirement, this could range from acrylic to egg crate).

Here are a view examples of stock tank filter sock holders (not mine):
