Hey Tree6foot6, A 10 Gal. tank at walmart is less then $10.

If the tank is glass (they usually are) the silicone will have a difficult time binding to the acrylic. Additionally, the acrylic plate will like double or triple the cost of a new 10 gallon tank.

Yeah, it's tough to bond acrylic to glass with much strength, and the bottom of the tank is arguably the place where you want the MOST strength. Not worth the time/effort/money (and flood risk if it does actually initially work) IMO.

+1, you will spend more time and money than its worth. If you were close I would give you one of my backups!
