This is how I repaired my Exo 18" cube, after the back started to separate from the glass. I added a huge goob of brown silicone to the space, then coated it with my coco fiber special mix (dried coco fiber, tree fern root, and bark) and clamped it. I allowed it to dry for a week, and this is how it came out. Seems ok. I plan to put a pair of El Dorado pumilio in there.

I goobed the silicone in the space between the GS and glass.

I coated the silicone, then covered it with coco mixture
