Yeah, that is what I meant by a front with bracing...having an acrylic edge to bond to.
Maybe I am making it more complicated by adding the block behind the glass to form a "slot", but it seems to me that would be significantly more stable, particularly if the tank had to be shipped.
It sounds to me like you guys think this could be done. Scott, can you describe the method to test the 5200 bond? I have plenty of acrylic & 5200 to try it out.
The real question to be answered is, will this still be stable in an earthquake, and how diminished is the risk of failure in comparisson with an all glass tank? In other words, is it worth the effort?
