Check out his site. That's how I learn to do mine. First time doing it also. As far so good. You don't use silicone for acrylic. I used the weldon which I got for free from this plastic shop. I put silicone in addition after the weldon has completely dry. But don't really have to if you glue it well.

see glass is like bad with me, glass cracks on uneven surfaces, also glass is really a pain when you want to add stuff into the sump, like holes and etc... but whatever you perfer i guess heh
