    I use regular superglue gel and pure silicone sealant for my sumps. There are 2 types of pure silicone sealant type 1 and type 2. You want the type 1 without the anti-microbal stuff.

    I got acrylic sheets at the hardware store. They will even cut it for you.

    I run only cheato, once it gets large it covers the whole fuge and blocks out the light for anything else.
