|  Tank glue? I need to "glue" something to the side of an acrilick(sorry I really can't spell) Is their any thing I can use that will work with water in the tank? It would be a real pain to empty the tank. There are a few hundred small fish that would need to be moved if I drained the tank. |

| Re: Tank glue? There is available a type of epoxy resin that will cure under water, it is called Milliput in the UK. Check that it is safe with your livestock before use though. Other than that you will have to drain the aquarium and use aquarium silicone.

| Re: Tank glue? Look at a hardware store like home depot they should have something you can use.Like for sealing PVC pipes, just dont get anything that has an anti mold/fungus in its ingredients.
