Along the same lines, silicone a piece of glass inside, just a bit

At one of the lfs I visit I saw one of the assistants with his sleeves
rolled right up and his arms deep in a 3/4 full 4 foot tank trying to
re
caulk the tank. I asked him what he was up to and he replied that he
was
fixing the leaks in the tank.

Well needless to say he was only making a huge mess and the next time I
went to the store the tank was empty! A month down the line it is still
there and empty.

Just an FYI. There is a black waterproof silicone sealant which I've
seen manufacturer reps use underwater. Probably very expensive. The
text on the caulking tube was all German.
