Hi y’all,
I want to seal a hole in the bottom of my 120gallon glass tank since I’ll be receiving my modular marine soon. the tank is 1/2 inch thick but I couldn’t find glass that thick so I got a 6”by6” 3/8in glass.
Ok here is the fun part. The hole is about an inch away from the back pane and the left. The hole itself is 2.5inches in diameter. I will be resealing the inside of the tank soon too since removing the weir took off a lot of the silicone.
so the question is:
1. Do I reseal the tank and use about 1in overhangs
2. Attach the piece of glass to the sides of the tank during the reseal? I think this will be hard. Silicone will probably go dry on me as I’m not an expert at this.
or what I was trying to avoid
3. Use a bulkhead and plug
