Sump Baffle Clip for 3/8 Inch Panel
This clip is a U shaped channel that holds a sump baffle, the divider panel that splits a sump into chambers. The channel is cut for a 3/8 inch panel, about 9.53mm. Set the panel in the channel dry to place the clip where you want it. Then glue the clip to the sump floor or wall with aquarium silicone, let it cure, and slide the panel down into the channel. The clip holds the panel square, so it does not lean or drift while you work. Most sumps need more than one clip. Plan on a clip at each end of every panel. We print in PETG. Aquarium keepers have used it submerged for years. Rinse before use.

Safety
A note on safety
We print every part in PETG. It is the material aquarium keepers have used submerged for years. Rinse each part in clean water before you add it to your tank.
Common questions
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.
