Perspex/Acrylic in tank!

[Nozebleed]

Hi...is it safe to put acrylic sheeting inside your tank???

the past 2-3 days i've been aqua'scaping and the plan was to create a 2/3 level stone effect inside my tank. by creating a cave with stone,covering the cave with a sheet of acrylic(with holes drilled through it),then i was goin to stack lots of nice beach stones on top of the sheet..its unescessarily complicated i know but i think it'll be something special when its done.

i just have a few concerns!!!

after i drilled the acrylic sheeting it kind of has a dust (which i will remove,before putting it in the tank) but im worried the exposed part(drilled parts) of the acryic will be toxic to fish!?

anyone got any idea? also should i treat the acrylic before placing in the tank??

also i plan on coating the acrylic sheet with coral sand by coating the acrylic with a really thin layer aquarium glue and then sprinkling on the sand..is this a good idea? is aquarium glue safe in large qauntities?
thanks
Andy

It is fine, it it weren't all of us with Acrylic tanks would be SCREWED. As for the glue, as long as it is Aquarium safe you are fine.
