I would give it a weak or 2. I know that when I resealed a 10 gallon tank it cured in 3 hours and I gave it the full 24.

It didn't cure in 3 hours. Skinning over is not cured. Silicone will not cure that fast.

Not the first double post i've seen. lol

Nice sump. I really don't know how sumps work, I mean the water pressure in certain parts and water drag from the filter floss.

So I no this has been said a few times but to save myself time looking threw all the pages. I was wondering what are the dimensions just of the front face. I was also wondering what are the dimensions of of the glass and the thickness you chose. I'm planning on building a smaller scale one this summer (500 gallon) and trying to get as much info on um as I can.

123” x 36" is the front face
115" x 36" is the inside dimensions for the front
And the glass is 113" x 36" x .75"

You're brave. 3/4" glass on 36" is pushing the envelope.
