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.

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.

Don't use silicone in a tank with water.  Silicone is poisonous until it cures (24 hours).

Instead, use an epoxy like you can find at www.thatpetplace.com.  Do a search under puttys and sealers.

You could also rig something up with suction cups.
