Thanks for all the kind reply's people...

A few updates.

DONT USE SILICONE to attach acrylic to glass...
Muligan on that one!

Got the new Gretch(sunsun) filter...

Resealed the entire tank after realizing that silicone was the wrong choice for that application, and should have used Titan Bond two part epoxy stuff...

Have to make another Overflow Box cause after I got it off, I stepped on it.:duh: This is not what I call Job Security(or hobby security)...

Ok so here are some pics of my seal job without the step by step, and a little late...

So a few side notes...

Always use clean blades and change them often...

Always clean glas several times and after you cut all the old silicone off, scrape repeatedly until no silicone film left on blade...

Sorry for the late pics but a few were confused about whether this happened or not...
