    What do I use in sump/refuge area to glue/seal an acrylic baffle to a glass aquarium? Regualr aquarium sealant is what I heard.
    I love this place already!

    That's is what I'd use. Regular aquarium sealant

    I agree as long as the tank is glass.

    You might have trouble getting the sealant to bond to the acrylic because sometimes the manufactures apply a 'mold release' chemical.

    If that happens you can slightly abrade the acrylic with some fine sand paper and/or give it a wipe with some methylated spirits :)
