| an lfs told me he didnt like using acrylic panes when he made his sumps. he used like 20 gallon glass tanks and had to use glass panes when attaching them with silicone. when he tried using acrylic panes with the silicone, he said it would last to long for some odd reason.
i hope this helps. | |

| silicone will not seal acrylic because of its smooth surface. Find a business that sells acrylic. They have the sealer you need. Sealer melts the acrylic together to make seal. Ask for a small scrape piece and use it help reseal tank. | |
