I've used GE Premium Waterproof Silicone (clear), Kitchen/Bath/Plumbing for several decorations in my set-up. I usually wait 48 hours & then pre-soak for 24 hours before putting in my tank.

silicone does not adhere well to plexiglass or any other brand sheet acrylic.

To solvent weld pieces of acrylic, weldon is normally used. http://compare.ebay.com/like/2607396922 ... s&var=sbar
