a above shot of the float valve and bracket, the clamps are there to hold everything in place till the silicone dries. I siliconed the bracket to the side of the tank, it is above the water and no silicone touched the water.

What are your bubble baffles made out of?
And what kind of float valve are you using?

I am using the Kent float valve and my baffels are made of clear acrylic.
