looks like the tank popped along a cast joint.. hence my disdain for cast joints. You can never really tell how much the WO40 (or similar resin) actually *bites* into the material. And this tank was built by one of the best mfrs in the world.

and I've got one going out next week with 2 cast (color transition) joints.. ugh
The PSI rating given with regard to WO40 joints is for the actual resin itself, it has no bearing on how well the resin sticks to the materials actually being bonded together.
Quite a few. There was a company in GA a few years ago that was doing cast joints on Chemcast acrylic, and very inexpensive, they were doing well. On about 2 years into their business, cast joints started popping, many of their tanks were failing.
it'll hold but it'll bow too.. your choice.
Doesn't seem high to me when you think about it. They're essentially charging material and an hour of shop time. Talking with you, paperwork, actually doing the work, liability, probably more than an hour..
3/4" minimum, 3" perimeter flange, (2) 6" crossbraces yielding 3 openings measuring ~ 18 x 30"..
25mm is even better

Yes you can, but acrylic on acrylic can easily lead to scratches. I would look at plastics that are slightly softer than acrylic if you wish to go this route.
