Tank Sealing advice

Is this where the leak was comeing from or is this a new issue?

 

That's what I was going to suggest but i have no advice as to what to use to seal the two probably opoxy of some sort. I would ask these questions on Reef central DIY forum as there are alot more people on there and alot more traffic.

 

I have heard on RC that you cannot glue/silicone acrylic and glass together. I'd ask though on RC.

 

If that's the case just use a piece of glass insted of acrylic. Or just buy a new tank and sell me the old one

I have a drilled overflow in my tank. One of the holes has chipped a little glass on the top surface. My bulkhead seal does not cover a tiny part of the chip and as a result I have a small drip on the underside of the hole and into my stand. My fist solution was to put a bulkhead seal on both sides of the hole. Didn't work. So my question is this. I was thinking of siliconing the bulkhead to the glass. This will stop the leak IF silicone will attach to the SCH80 Bulkhead and the glass bottom. Will this work do you think? Is there a different type of caulk that I should consider using if silicone will not work? I've done something similar to this and the silicone sealed the hole just fine.  If this doesn't work, then use glass, not acrylic to cover the hole.  Acrylic does not bond well with silicone.

Glad to assist.    How is this project coming along?  Tank all sealed up, cured, etc?  Everything set back up?
