![]() Just a suggestion but you may want a small peice of wood or foam or carpet or somthing inbetween the clamp and the glass as it could scratch.

Actually if you would re-read my recent post with the pic's, you will see that I put felt on the clamp so that it can't scratch the glass...(it's the second photo in the group)

![]() We have these neat corner clamps at work .. We sell them for about $20.
One big caulking tip for readers: buy a half barrel, 'dripless' style caulking gun. You will notice huge improvement over a cheap skeleton frame gun! Also GE Silicone 1 is considered 'aquarium safe' and submersible for those wondering. I've never seen the GE SCS1200 Silicone .. Is that what the professionals use?

![]() I used the same Silicone on my tank but in black.
Looks great ![]() I see you put your sides on your bottom. I did this as well but read later that most people put the bottom up 1/4" and let the sides take all the pressure. Do you have any thoughts on that?? Also I found that after a few days of drying that you could see some of those air crack lines. I had less on my second tank I glued up but left the clamps on longer. Any thoughts on this?? I also had all my edges polished as they told me on thick glass it was hard to get it lump free. This might be why though. Would be interested in how yours look on the seam after about 3-4 days. Are you going to edge the sides with something to make the glass edge look better?
