Building a Acrylic cube tank.

[coral keeper]

I have lots of acrylic scraps and the largest tank I can build is a 3.1 gallon Acrylic cube tank.(9 in. x 9 in. x 9 in.)(I get the scraps for free) So, how do I fuse the edges together? Do I use silicone?

Silicone wont work for that. You would want to use weld on #4.

How much water volume can that stuff hold? Just curious.

The weld on, like can it be used to put together pieces of acrylic for something as big as say, 300g?
