And who says were SUPPOSED to use a certain product anyways? Where would we be if no one broke from convention? Just because Joey and Billy use it, does it mean you have to too?

That's a cool idea, especially for a cube with the drain hole in the middle.

You don't get a safe bond with ABS to silicone. While I would never silicone plastics, the safest way to do it is to epoxy the ABS and bond the epoxy and glass tank together with silicone. Epoxy sticks to plastics, silicone sticks to epoxy.

Very cool. I see the threads on the side of the bulk head but how does it attach to the output inside the tube?
