@southsid_reefer - I really like it what you have done and please keep us updated. I wish I could convince my wife to let me go full bore...

@Da Maui life - Thanks for the info on the correct solvent to use.

Will do.. Am I'm going to wait till I have the 3 PVC pretty stocked before I set the acrylic ones up but soon it'll be 7 tanks in the garage.

IMHO the best adhesive for bonding PVC FB would be Weld On #10 or #40

Weld-On PVC Glue Water thin, very fast-setting solvent cement for bonding PVC, foamed PVC (Komatex, Komacel, Sintra, Celtec) and Kydex to themselves
and to each other.

Weld On solvent cements Like #3 and #4 are not recommended for PVC

According to some manufactures depending on type of board PVC cement will work for PVC Foam Board. i.e. gluing the joint.( go by what the manufactures recommend for adhesives)

thanks for the info I called my local store in Puerto rico west indies plastics and ask them about the pvc solvent and they told me weld on 20.07? now I'm confuse lol? any suggestion

IPS Weld-On #2007, Vinyl CEMENT, is a water-thin, very fast setting solvent cement for bonding PVC, Foamed PVC and Kydex to themselves and to each other.

IPS Weld-On #10 Two part, High-strength structural adhesive for bonding PVC, acrylic, styrene, ABS and polycarbonate. Also bonds well to steel, non-anodized aluminum, etc.

IPS Weld-On #40 Is especially formulated to bond extruded, cast, and cross linked acrylic sheets. It will also bond acrylic to polyester, butyrate, polycarbonate, PVC and other materials.

I would think Weld-On 2007 would be the best as it specifically mentions foamed PVC. Also looks like #10 and #40 may work since they mention PVC. Although I think the PVC being mentioned here is solid sheet and tube PVC. You could always contact IPS and ask for recommendation.

I am noticing that zebrasoma and yellow wrasse are extremely common in these tanks. I am a little surprised considering the jumping tendency of the wrasses and that these are mostly open top. Zebrasoma isn't so surprising, but I am surprised at the preference to sailfin over yellow tangs.

 

[Andrew johns]

I do have 2 tanks with yellow tangs in and the other sailfin in them .
