Hi there Everyone,

Long time lurker here about to be setting up a big tank.
I've had many cichlid tanks in the past but I'm ready for the jump to SW.
I have seen alot people building there tanks from 1" thick CLR acrylic.

First off I am a graphics designer at a custom sign shop. I realized the other day that I talk with an acrylic company almost every other day to order pieces for custom signs. So I though I wonder If I could just give them the specs and have them piece it together.....(I could prob. save alot of money if I could go this route) Although they are using e6000 epoxy and I am not sure if that is toxic or even if it would hold up against the weight of the water. I am wanting to most likely build anywhere from a 300 to 600 gallon tank depending on cost.

Any thoughts on e6000 epoxy? Thanks for the help everyone. This is going to be a long build but I am super excited about it!
