I am not sure I understand but are you making an acrylic overflow with 4 tunze's in the same direction that looks good I made an acrylic coast to coast inside a glass tank that has a drilled back wall seems to work o.k. so far ? Anyway I am glad to see this are progressing for you and seemingly fast

i will turn this tank arounded,,will see through all 3 sides just like my sps tank in the restaurant,but this one without stand overflow and stand return pipe,return will come out from the over flow box and i will have 1--3/4"sea whirl on the other end of the tank sweep through against the tunze flow..,to much flow maybe?
lighting will be 4 -400w mh/VHO 03. or T5??

did anyone know anything about E6000 glass/plastic addhesive in salt water..,instruction said will take 7 days to cure?

 

[dragoneggs]

Dang, my company is expert in adhesives. I will research this and get back to you. What exactly are the materials that you are bonding? Glass to glass, glass to acrylic, acrylic to acrylic?

[tamarindthai]

Dragoneggs I also want to know about anything that will hold up better than just silicone for bonding acrylic to glass
I have an acrylic overflow inside a tank and unfortunately when the power goes off it leaks water (imperfect seal) and would let out 30-45 gallons (more than planned for my sump :-(
I am planning I guess on drainig partially and re siliconing or ? another glue like dang mentioned But I would like to know more first

Sorry dang if i'm hijacking this thread temporarily :-O
