Hi,
Looking for an answer to a question from someone with firsthand knowledge or personal experience. I am currently building a custom aquarium. 65" long by 32" wide by 24" tall. Bottom and sides are all glass. Viewing panels are 1/2" glass and bottom panel is 3/4" glass. Viewing panels are starfire glass bottom panel is regular glass. I would like to use acrylic to eurobrace the top. My plan is to use acrylic strip at 2.5" wide. I would like the eurobracing strips to offer some strength to the tank but most of the strength should come from 3/4" glass on the bottom. Does anyone know how companies like A.G.E. bind acrylic bottoms to glass panels or know of an adhesive that can handle glass to acrylic and bond with strength. At the same time said adhesive needs to be reef safe.
