It will actually look more like this (first pick is the old tude) http://www.followsteph.com/wp-conten.../caulking2.jpg

And I just checked it out you can get black if you want but I am not sure about that one. I have never used or researched it. Seems like if it is 100% silcone and exactly the same product but black it should be ok. Anyway good luck on the sump I have to build another one comin up here and that is what I am using GE silcone II 100% -clear.

You can also baffle with acrylic from sheets that you can cut yourself. Sheets can be found at home depot or Rona. Industrial Paints and Plastics has a great selection too and they can cut the acrylic for you.

My silicone of choice is the Home Hardware brand. It states right on the label that it is safe for aquariums.

Is this the silicone you are talking about? http://media.photobucket.com/image/h...9/100_1204.jpg

How much is it?

I haven't used that one exactly. I've used GE silicone 1, it's at home depot, $4 for a tube. The home depot by my house sells it in a squeeze tube aswell(like a toothpaste tube). I've seen at the one by my house, but couldn't find it at another home depot, so might only be some stores. Both carried the caulking gun sizes tube though, and for $4 you can't go wrong.
