I personally only ever buy GE SCS1200 construction silicone. It's the best out there.

If i'm in a time bind, i'll pay the silly price of the Marineland stuff available at the pet stores. But I wouldn't risk any of the other stuff at Home Depot unless it says "aquarium safe" on the label.

if your building a sump from scratch including the side panels then make sure you use construction grade silicone , silicone sealant wont do long term.

if its just baffles then sealant is fine

GE silicone I. Available at most home improvement stores. If you are not sure, just read the label and make sure its 100% silicone and doesnt have any mildew preventative substances in it.

I seem to remember all GE silicone now has mildew resistance and is no longer reef safe. If you could, can you clear this up name of the GE silicone?
