40. 16 is essentially 4 with bits of acrylic laced into it, makes it garbage IMO.

whats the thickness of the acrylic? that will make a difference too.

If it's to patch a location that affects the tank's structural integrity, only use #40. None of the others can provide a stronger bond.

If it's simply cosmetic, you can use #4 or #16.
