I need to buy some silicone from the home depot that is safe for my sump. I want to put in baffles after all. Ideas? name brands, content? help me out. I am making my sump tomorrow. Thanks in advance

HA! I am far from a member of any Council of Knowledge. That was really flattering. I am such a noob myself. I learn something everyday about this hobby. I just know a bit here and there. I know NOTHING about DIY projects. But, for what it is worth, you are welcome? LOL.

I will check of 100% silicone tomorrow.

Wow, I can answer this question! Ryan is right. Home Depot will carry 50 brands of silicone. Any of the 100% silicone that are not antimicrobial are fine. They also sell tubes of "Aquarium Silicone" for 10 times the price, but it's exactly the same.

Are you guys saying that the carpenters wood glue I used won't work? :shock:

I in general use DAP brand 100% silicone Rubber Sealant. About $2.50 per tube at HomeDepot in Alaska. Avoid with out reading any further on th tube any caulking that says bath room and kitchen caulking as they always has mildewcides in them.
