Howdy,

I am trying fix this piece of ABS plastic to the back of the tank to stop light from spilling over into the back chambers of my AIO. Does anyone have a good idea on how to adhere this? Obviously I'd trim it down to smaller sections.

I’m not familiar with this type of tank. Can you use something like Velcro strips? Can cut to any size you need.

Is that ABS? Usually ABS won't be shined up, so it looks like acrylic or polycarb. In either case, solvent cements designed for acrylic ("Weld-On", "SciGrip" etc) will bond to ABS as well.

I'd look for the thickened type, e.g. Weld-On 16.
