Sounds like a fun project Kien!

I hate to be the downer... but those clips aren't going to work for putting that tank together. Because you have to silicon between the edges when you are putting it together, you wont be able to do with the clips on and I dont think its a good idea to put those on after you place siliconed pieces into place. Since they are just at the top corners they will pull the top corners in and at the same time rock the bottom outward, which will make the joints uneven, which obviously is bad. Also it infact might be easier to work on a surface while you are standing than on the ground. The first and last tank I built on the floor was much more inconvenient to do than working up on a 'bench'. - Toss down a piece of plywood on a table, then cover the wood with newspaper. Build the tank on the newspaper, and it doesn't matter if the silicon sticks to the newspaper.

Best of luck with the build!

Cheers,

Chris

P.S. - nice thread title
