With the entire thing smeared with silicone and pressed together the two pieces wouldn't budge at all if the bottom one ever cracked I don't think (massive surface area contact).

I'd never clamp a tank that's under load but that's just me.

i could never just do that and leave it tho it would look ugly and bother me

i guess temporarily he could use a board and do the same thing silicone the crap out and leave it till he can replace it. since he is going away

but it does give you alot of ideas if you did this no need for clamps asave the money there
