I wonder how hard it would be to just use a plug-in sander to bevel the edges yourself? I was talking to the local glass shop because I'm planning to pick up some glass panels and then score and snap; I asked them how to take the sharp edge off and they said it's really easy to just sand it down with sandpaper.

Although I don't build any tanks, I really do think that sanding/beveling to create flat surfaces to join is really your only option. That acrylic trim is going to do basically zero for actually holding the glass together, although it would be good to help protect the glass from getting chipped.

Also, on the inside, I think if you are going to add an additional strip of anything it should be glass. Silicone adhesion is much better for glass than acrylic...

Silicon is that black stuff that microchips are made out of.
