So for my next question, roughly how much silicone would I require for a 79x18x16 tank with eurobrace?

check thebrinc member on canreef .. he put his massive 10ft long tank together himself on his property and used RTV 108 or the 100 series.... glass thickness does play a part to to help increase the safety factor. I believe one aims at 9X allowing for bubbles on the seal, etc. There on formulae on the hydrostatic forces based on your tank dimensions.
