Years ago, I made an ATBA out of plexiglass I cut myself for a 20 gallon long and then another for a 55 gallon tank. Years later, I upgraded to a 155 gallon, and I’ve kept the same 55 gallon ATBA, supported by 2x4’s.
I’m finally ready to build a much nicer one for the tank. I’m going to order pre-cut and routed plexiglass.
For the ramps on the first two, I used shower tile formed from small glass or stone tiles on a mesh backing. I think I superglued the mesh to the plexiglass.
Over the years, some of the stone has fallen off, though it’s still serviceable.
It strikes me that the glues used in that may not be as safe as I’d like, so I’m looking for recommendations. I’m thinking of just individually gluing stone. What glue do I use?
Are their better alternatives?
I may still go with the tile, because in the seven years we’ve had Tobie, fish and shrimp, I’ve noticed no issues.
