note:smooth out the silicone with wet finger right after its applied.(helps push the silicone into the gaps)
some dont reccomend using acrylic baffles with glass......but it will hold for quite a long time if you use a generous amount of silicone and smoothing it out..

but glass baffles will be your best bet....done well.. it can last just as long as your glass tank

and i would switch the first 2 compartments around....skimmer/filter sock first,then fuge..
