CUSTOM BUILD AQUARIUM 24x36x14H

[hexcolor reef]

I’m looking into building my own aquarium soon like tomorrow and couldn’t find a bottom glass piece 36x24 but was able to find a 36x24 3/16” Acrylic as a replacement.
Can I use silicon to bond both acrylic and glass together? I would prefer the bottom be acrylic that way I can drop in holes for over flow with out worry.

No, I believe the tank itself needs to be glass or acrylic.

Silicone will not adhere to acrylic permanently. Go all glass or all acrylic.

Nah, doing that and you're doomed! Or at least your floors are! :anxious-face-with-sweat: Please please please don't ;)

I am sure if you go to a glass merchant of sorts he can hook you up with whatever size you need though?

A BIG NO....It will not hold....Pick one material, glass or acrylic and make the entire tank out of it.
