What type of 'glue' are you suppose to use for bonding Acrylic. I am looking into building a new sump for my tank and can't remember which 'weld-on' is recommended for this.
Anyone know of a local source for this and acrylic sheets?
And lastly, for those of you who have done this before, what is the recommended thickness for the Acrylic in a sump approx 14"W X 30"L X 24"H?

Thanks

I have only done it a few times but I used Weld-on #4 and it was a success. I get my acyrlic sheets from Lowe's and I never use less than 1/4". If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate them as well.
