I'm pretty new to the hobby myself, but I made removable baffles using EPDM rubber weatherstripping after reading this thread: http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14679
 
They've worked great so far (2 months).  I love being able to move the baffles when I need to, and if you mess up any calculations on clearance, it's easy to fix.

Gahlenfr is correct.  Do not use silicone to make a acrylic sump.  Weldon should be used for these applications, but as Marcus mentioned silicone works fine for acrylic inserts in a glass sump.

Always read the warning.  Most times it will say not for aquarium use, but there is one GE silicon that can be used safely and lacks this warning.]]> Fri, 17 Nov 2006 11:10:10 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15178&PID=135103&title=ge-100-silicone-for-sump#135103 <![CDATA[GE 100% silicone for sump? : as long as it does not have the...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15178&PID=135088&title=ge-100-silicone-for-sump#135088 Author: bbeck4x4

as long as it does not have the "bio-guard" in it it is fine I have used it, look for window and door trim. otherwise it seems that the bio guard is in everthing, also you want the ge silicone II
