It's hard to get a decent picture, here's the best of the ones I snapped.

So you know for the acrylic tray, I first created a shelf/ lip for it using various segments of 1/4 glass underneath via silicone. Thisallowed me to provide adequate gaps for expansion around the perimeter whike it was just laid in a need of sealant as opposed to being supported and attached to the glass sidewalls. This served two purposes, i don't have to worry about cracking from the acrylic expansion/ swelling or the typical concern of weak silicone connection between acrylic and glass.
