Hi guys,
I am going to make an 4'x4'x18" acrylic aquarium and was thinking about saving money by making the bottom plywood. I know there are issues with adhering the acrylic to the wood. So, instead of getting the 3/8"-1/2" acrylic bottom, I was thinking of cementing a 4'x4' 1/4" acrylic to the plywood. Then I would use Weldon to adhere the sides to the thin acrylic/plywood bottom. It would save me about 50 bucks. What are your thoughts?
