I am making a DIY tank based on a 110 tall-48x18x30. I want to use an overflow and w/d sump instead of HOB filter. This is why I want to use acrylic for the bottom, so I can drill holes for the piping. I have heard that silicone will not hold to acrylic. Does anyone have experience with this? Any solutions? Do I just run a big fat bead and hope for the best, or can I scuff the acrylic for a better seal? Please help! Fish are getting bigger by the minute! Must increase tank size! Thanks in advance.
Will silicone seal glass sides to an acrylic bottom?

We used a silicon sealent from the brand syka called sykaflex 15lm to put the windows on place
.. the products of this brand are known for sealing boats and that kind of stuff, anything underwater pressure
I saw this in another sticky. Anybody else use it to seal a tank?
