griss' Tank Upgrade Thread

Pro Clear definitely used silicone. If they used a rubber gasket and silicone together, I think that may be the case.
Removed the silicone from inside the hole in the glass. Standpipe is sitting MUCH more solid (not as wobbly as before). Added 1 gallon of water to the weir…still a slow leak.
When the gasket material arrives tomorrow, I’ll cut to size and see if that eliminates the leak. If not, I’ll drain the tank and take a sledgehammer to it.
Just kidding

I would have just done a smush of silicone like this. I'm pretty sure I would already be assembled and cured for 24 hours if it was me, lol. There'd be a healthy smush on the bottom side too.
If the gasket material doesn't work, that was my next plan.
