Mine was the side. The bottom I would think would have way more pressure than the sides. Unless something is supporting the bottom 'glass itself, it will flex and boom come off.

i have an old peice of acrylic here with silicone on it, it seems to have bonded well with it.
not holding any great hopes for it but i still think its worth a try seen as i have everything required with out having to buy anything

not true. if you look at any cheap glass stand built by any manufacture, it is open bottom. glass only needs to be supported on all 4 edges. the reason for this is if the wood has some imperfection or a small piece of "something" it will press against it and crack the glass. if you support the bottom on glass you need styrofoam under it to absorb the imperfections!! with acrylic, if you dont support the entire bottom, then have fun swimming.
Ya when I went under my tank and saw that the middle was floating and only held by the ends I got worried.
lol ok. well when it's done it will be placed on foam on the shed floor for a bit, need to make a stand for it before i can bring it inside.
