Sump Baffle Clips
U channels that silicone into a sump and hold a baffle panel square. Cut for 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch panels, with a corner version too.
A baffle is the divider panel that splits a sump into chambers. These clips are U shaped channels that hold that panel. Glue a clip to the sump floor or wall with aquarium silicone, let it cure, then slide the panel down into the channel. Channels are cut for 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch panels, with a corner version too. Most sumps need more than one clip.

Baffle clip questions, answered straight.
Which panel thickness should I order, 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch?
Match the clip to your panel's actual thickness, not the label on the glass or acrylic. Sheet stock often runs a little thinner than its listed size.
Do you have a clip for a corner instead of a flat wall?
Yes. A corner version is cut for a baffle that meets the sump wall at a corner, in addition to the straight U channel clips.
How does the clip attach to my sump?
Glue it to the sump floor or wall with aquarium silicone and let it cure. Then slide the baffle panel down into the channel.
Is the clip the whole baffle, or do I supply the panel?
The clip is the U shaped channel only. You supply your own glass or acrylic panel and slide it into the channel.
What if my panel does not match 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch exactly?
Go by the panel's actual thickness and pick the closer of the two clips. Sheet stock runs thinner than its label more often than you would expect.
