Right the perspex/acrylic is free, so ill try it. And see what happens. I dont have a stand for these tanks at present so it can sit in a corner and age water (see water change discussion  8O ) till it explodes. I shall report back.....

If you make an all perspex tank ash, get the glue for it, it bonds two pieces of perspex together much better than silicone would, you could build a much bigger tank using it, provided you have some nice thick perspex that is.
Check out the calculator in the tank building subheading of the DIY section HERE
