Super glue strong enough for ABS AIO sump?

[Bengals888]

Hi,

I have 1/4 ABS plastic sheet. I plan to make an AIO sump, so it is just one large piece and few side baffles to join together.

My question is if Gorilla super glue gel holds up over time?

There is really no stress

How strong does silicone bond to ABS plastic then?

Any specific glues for ABS plastic that is reef safe?

not very strong. when it comes to plastics we use solvents to “weld” the pieces together. if none of these joints will be load bearing you could use scigrip 16.
