Which brand of silicone are you using?
I’m using some Aqueon silicone that I have left over. Some 100% silicone from the hardware store should be fine though.

I’m sure I can. I’ll just need the dimensions of that filter sock area for the 50.3
Based on Waterbox's website, the filter sock area is 81mm x 120mm or 3.2" x 4.7"

4.7" or 120mm is front to back. 3.2" or 81mm is side to side, which is almost the same as the Waterbox 20, which is 80mm I believe. Assuming, that the file needs to be extended front to back to accommodate the 4.7", but keeping the hole where the Nanomat slips in?

Glass thickness is 10mm for the lip.

Once I get it dialed in for mine I’ll work on it for different sizes

I think I should be able to. What are the dimensions of the inside of the sock holder section. Also how wide is the overflow? I’ll post a pic of that I’m talking about lol.

Alright had to take out my calipers for this.

All measurements are as if I’m facing front of the tank.

Sock Holder Area is 81mm (Left to Right) and 120mm (Front to Back)

Overflow Measurement:

Left Side of Tank to Edge of Overflow is 15mm. Total overflow length is 56mm. Right side of tank to edge of overflow is 11mm. That should equal 81mm the total right to left of dimension of the sock holder area.
