NaCl H2O Reefer: I'm not sure which baffle you mean to be the "main" baffle.

I am planning on going with two baffles. I'll refer to them as the"standing" baffle,...that would be the one that goes from the bottom up to 2" from the top,...and the "floating" baffle,...that would be the one that goes from the top down to 2" off the bottom.

I was planning on putting the "floating" one in first because I could get a bead of silicone on both sides of it that way. Then, I was planning on putting the "standing baffle in second because I could then get silicone on at least one side, but also along the bottom, too. (Probably both sides along the bottom, given the 2" clearance). If I put the "floating" one in after the "standing" one I'm concerned that I would get a bead of silicone on only the one side. In other words...I think I could secure the "floating" one better if I did it first. Any advice to the contrary would be appreciated.

Any advice on the following would also be greatly appreciated...

1). Any trick to getting a silicone bead on the inside of the second baffle placed?
2). Any trick to holding the baffles in place while the silicone sets?

Thanx much,

BTW, Johnny is just a psuedonym. Maybe I shouldn't have chosen that handle.
