I'm thinking that if it actually fuses acrylic then it should be fine. But I dont know jack. I might buy some and try it.

The reason I think it more of an epoxy is they claim it will bond plastic to metal, Weldon is more of a solvent

Yup, it's a two part epoxy. I've used similar stuff in the past, but never in aquaria so I have no idea if it's safe for use in the tank. If you're looking for making seams, weld-on is the way to go.
