I used aquarium silicone on my current sump to attach my acrylic baffles to a 10g glass tank.
Works like a charm.
Just make sure to cut the acrylic about 1/16" smaller than the width of what you need so that you can work the silicone in between the panel edge and the glass.
I taped my panels in place with duct tape then did the siliconing and let it dry... haven't had a single problem doing it this way.
HTH.

Yea Marine Goop works great for acrylic to glass I have used it many times! It seems to work better as a contact adhesive than a sealer because it is not as thick as silicone & will run or drip if not on a flat level surface. For baffles as long as they are all straight cuts I would just use glass & silicone, Home Depot usually has a glass cutting station & they don’t normally charge for regular cuts!
