I thought this would aleviate the flood problem if it did crack or separate as you mention happened to your and your friends tank. What are your thought on that idea? Like I said I forgot to mention that was the plan I had from the get go.... I really do appreciate all the help and insight the you are giving me on this, so that I could improve it before ordering my tank this week.

That sounds like it would do the trick. Instead of silicone, I would recommend using a 2" threaded bulkhead with a threaded PVC pipe connected to it. That way it will be solid. If you step or pull on the wires you won't have to worry about dislodging the silicone seal around the pipe. You might even be able to use two of them in your dry box for added space for wires.
