Yo! I'm gonna start a new aquarium soon-- a microtope! Yep, I only have dimensions, but it's gonna be 6X6X12in Long. Dunno the gallons or liters, but I ordered the glass an hour ago. I also need a light, preferably the JBJ Lyra peninsula light or something like that, but can't find anything... welp, I also need to make the overflow. Pictures soon to follow, but this is a work in progress, and I gotta build everything, so it's gonna take time. Anyway, anyone have ideas for non toxic glue for glass, or acrylic?

I'm not using traditional acrylic. I'm using something like ABS Black 1/8 inch thick, because it's easier to cut. Wish me luck!

I'm finished but don't have enough space to post a picture, so I'll get it figured out soon.
