your inner glass strips can simply be 3/8" or even 1/2" glass rods, lay in a bead of silicone, squish the rod in and run more silicone up either edge of the rod...
the acrylic mouldings (not exactly sure what your going to use) are as mentioned going to do basically nothing for strength...and the panels really need to be beveled otherwise the seems are going to fail..silicone gets its bonding strength by bonding to something other then itself...in your drawing you have about 1/1000th of an inch of glass in contact with the other glass panel (where the two inside corners of the panels meet)...in other words of your two half in pieces of glass you only have 1/1000th on an inch of bonding surface...not near enough to hold a tank together...the big wad of silicone on the inside and outside will do very little to hold the tank together as silicone is relatively weak when bonded to itself, it will be very tensile and tear easily...
