Question about aquarium glue

Happy Now, John?

Here's the little ladder, I used plastic craft stuff instead of the vines, I'm running low on fake vines and want to use them all in the water part. So far, it's holding; I added water this morning.
I wanted to make the new set-up its own thread and now most of my project is in here but I'm starting a new thread on it for when it's done and the kids are in there.

I’ve had good luck putting partitions of both plexiglass and acrylic in glass aquaria by first epoxying them in then sealing with silicone. Not the stuff for sealing leaks in aquaria, but the stuff sold as construction adhesive. It’s much thicker and takes two weeks to cure. It’s made by Dow and sold in lumber yards. I’ve never seen it in Home Depot type stores. It comes in a tube for caulking guns. Rough up the edges of the plastics with coarse sandpaper to give the adhesives something to bite. I have a couple that were put in over 20 years ago that are still holding.
