From my experience. I found that silicon does not work very well on acrylic. Acrylic and silicon are not friends. Silicon sticks to the glass great. Acrylic needs acrylic glue and it only works when you glue acrylic to acrylic. You might want to think about replacing it with glass in the future. My sump was a combo of both and it kept failing. So I had concept make me one. They used all glass and I haven't had an issue yet.
