Tips for installing baffles in sump

I am getting anxious to start up my drilled out 20long. Ordered a sump pump and I am thinking about the baffle in the sump.

I imagine this won't be too hard to do.

But anyone have any experience/tips to share?

I was thinking of getting some glass cut and simply siliconing it, but was unsure of how to hold it in place while I do so. :-/

Hey Matt, i used two 2x4s screwed together and staggered.the bottom piece was cut to the heigth that i wanted the opening to be and the top piece i used as a fence to support the glass against.
Make sure you will be able to pull out the wood when it cures

 

Thanks Nugio.
That gives me some ideas.

 

Thanks man. That's interesting. I imagine that gives you quite a buzz!
I don't mind waiting, I just don't want it to fall over while I glue it.

 

Another thing I did when siliconing the top piece of glass from the top of the tank down was to notch the plastic frame (where the glass lid rests) just wide enough for the pane to fit into for extra braceing
