Does anyone know anything about aquarium sealant, and if it will hod a tree with a full grown corn on it? I was also wondering if it must be permanent , or if it can be removed.

Aquarium sealant?

Most manufacturers use a simple silicone-type caulking. The weight will be hit or miss. This substance doesn't create a permanent bond. Another consideration is that the amount of silicone required to secure the material to the glass will be fairly unsightly
To be safe, I would recommend placing one end of a branch against the floor and the other again the glass.

Ya, many have told me that (about one end on floor), but ground space is rather limited. I'll have to see what i can do!

I have used silicone aquarium sealant for my fish tanks to glue the plants to the bottom of the tank because the fish liked to pull them up, I like it because it's easy to scrape off with a razor blade, however it isn't strong at all and it probably wouldn't work, you might want to look for a sealant made for working on boats or automobiles that stuff is generally strong and water resistant, I don't know if it's toxic or not though... just an idea

Beware of "off gassing"...
silicone releases dangerous gases, (for you and you Corn) the first 24-48 hours depending on temperature as part of the "curing" process (dries).
What the heck, give it a week, for safety sake, if one can stand too. 72 hours minimum. imho.
What size " tree" do you want to glue?
