Acrylic and glass

[aggie05]

I have a 5.5 gallon AGA tank that I want to put an acrylic divider in for an in tank sump. How would I go about bonding the acrylic to the glass?

all-glass sells aquarium safe sealant, check your lfs.

yeah, but will it bond acrylic to glass. I have made stuff with glass before and know to use sylicone, but I know that it doesn't bond well with acrylic.

I want to know more about the acrylic adhesive too, I am planing on building a small qt tank with it. Where is the aquiarum safe glue? i just bought some window and door silicone to seal my tank. Is this good or bad to build a tank with?

I used it with no problem on a replacement end for my first refugium ( I tried to drill tempered glass with a hole saw)
currently that tank is still in service a s my brine shrimp hatchery/ gulag
