14-10-2007 13:16 by JOHANSWAN	good luck to you ed but we tried silicone on several occasions and it just came loose after na month or two i got a perspex sump on my marine tank and all my dividers came loose wich led me to install angle plastic with plastic screws to hold dividers in place thats why you cant silicone perspex tanks as they dont hold my next sump i plan will be glass with glass dividers and i will have peace off mind
