Does any know how to make repair to baffles on existing sump. The issue is my baffles are coming loose from sump walls. The sump is currently being used and can not be removed from the tank stand.

One of our baffles came loose too a few months back. Our refugium has been running for 2 years so drying it out was not an option.Way too much naturally growing and would probably cause a tank crash for us. I basically reinforced the baffles with glass strips to hold everything square and hold the water pressure. Patience,algae,and pineapple sponges slowly replaced the silicone. unless you have a small sump the pressure on the baffles is quite strong.
How did you apply the glass strips? Like your case taking sump off line for a few days is not an option. Your way if the glass can be applied in a manner of fast dry on wet surface, would be great. My other options are a marine weather stripping. Not that great since baffles need to be 1/4 smaller than width. The other option is totally replace old sump. I would have to shatter the sump glass to get it out. New sump same gallon but not as long so it can go through cabinet doors.
