I had the back pane of a 150 all glass tank crack all the way across on me last month. Could I replace that panel with a sheet of acrylic rather than glass? Since its lighter and cheaper I thought why not.

will not work sorry...the silicone will now hold on very well and it will blow out

What was I thinking! You weld acrylic!! It's late and I'm tired obviously!

I just figured I have a broken tank and might as well experiment. Ordered a 165gal acrylic replacement!

Counting down the remaining 3 weeks of waiting!
