Very cool the acrylic is going to be held with pressure or your reinforcing it somehow ?

 

[sirichok]

We are using 90 cm thick acrylic and a lot of silicone adhesives .

 

[OurCoralReef]

The silicone will hold that kind of weight

Im guessing you are inserting it into the wall or making some kind of lip that would hold the weight of the water

Sorry I did not go into construction details of how to install the acrylic under pressure . Yes you are quite right there will be a concrete lip that will take the weight of the acrylic and using silicone adhesive to hold it together .
