I had thought about using a sealant and enclosing it all in a
stainless fraame, just like the old time tanks were made prior to the
advent of all glass with silicone seals.......

This is true, as long as I don;t apply solvent to the edges its fine
to bond to on the face

I had also thought about this. I was thinking of making enought
chamfered strips (like a rightangle triangle affair, with the two legs
of the triangle being equal to at least the thickness of edges, and
solvent weld it in the corners......Be double the normal amount of
solvent welded seams overall, but it has a possibility. Having
chamfered inside corners would make life a lot easier as well as
corners are always a pain in a fish tank.....

===Just a thought.
thanks for your thoughts on this.
