Hello everyone. I have made a dozen or so tanks. Most incorporate a smaller top mounted overflow and herbie type drain and return setup. I recently built a rimless with a bottom drilled herbie setup and did a full height overflow. I'm going to be building a center overflow model next week. My question is, given silicon doesn't adhere to glass well, does the center need to be glass with an acrylic comb cover on top? My thought process is yes so it can seal to the bottom well. Most factory corner drilled tank have plastic or acrylic overflows sealed to the glass with silicon. I assume that because this isn't structural and inward facing pressure that this is ok. Thoughts?
