Sorry to poke fun without giving advise Marco. IMO you should only use glass when working with glass, and only aquarium silicone. Too many general purpose silicones use chemicals that are not safe for your tank.

Depending on how big your sump is, you could probably get away with 1/8" glass. The sump I just built has 2 pieces of 1/4" 12"x 16" and were $12. That was in NW NJ, I'm sure it's probably more out your way. Make sure you ask them to seam it, otherwise you'll be cutting you hands up working with it.

Did you get my PM?
