What to use to glue baffels in refuge

[mhenderson5581]

I have heard that it is ok to use LOCKTITE to glue baffels into place. Is this a true statement, and if so is their a certain type. Please help me cause I am in a bind with this whole set up. My wife is starting to get mad at me over how long it is taking to set this up.

if youre using glass aquarium and glass baffles, use silicone you find at the LFS or *****. If you're using acrylic i can't help, but you can do a search--there's tons of posts on it

this is what i used, says on the back can be used for marine applications, just like a clear silicone.

Glass to Glass - use 100% silicone from Home depot or Lowes GE I
Acrylic to Acrylic= Use Weld on #16 avail at any plastic supply shop.

So GE I is okay to use for sure. If so how do i cut out the glass that I already put in the tank and how will I get the excess silicone off the side of the tank.

also since the tank has already been running for two weeks will I have to get rid off all the water in the tank and start over?

ge 1 is ok. but if you have to start over use a razor blade to cut out the baffles. I will walk downstairs and dbl check but i believe that ge 1 is ok. 100% silicone with no anti mildew stuff in it.
