So building a small acrylic tank, test how easy it is.

It's only tiny, but I filled it with water today, and I think I have a small leak

It's only one side. I used a different glue on that side compared to the rest. On that side, I used Tensol 12 compared to the other side using Acrifix 192

Hard to tell if it's leaking from just a photo, but I think you may be right. ;)

Never heard of those glues, I've only ever used IPS weld-on. I'll have to remember that.
 
there is a gel type of weld on made for welding leaking seams and corners, Ive heard this stuff is pretty useful.
