    I haven't any clamps. How else can I hold the baffles in place while I silicon them? Got my lines drawn! Lol

    I use duct tape on the ends of the baffles at the tank sides.
    I need to attend a Fish Breeders Anonymous class.

    I've also heard people use the blue painters tape.

    Also, be sure to draw the lines on both sides of the tank. You don't want crooked baffles!

    I'm way behind on this but how many chambers is your sump and is the middle a fuge? Looks like a baffle on the right and a bubble trap on the left side. Like I said I'm behind but I couldn't find a build thread () so I'm sure this has all been hashed over but I'm a little confused.

    Hi Rabid!! Your not behind at all. I haven't started a build thread yet. Just waiting til I get all supply's together.

    This will be a three chamber sump/fuge.

    I set my sump on its end and used thick books to hold the glass until I could silicone the baffle in place. It worked for me.

    Always learning, loving this hobby.
