HDPE (high-density polyethylene)
What do people think about using a 3/4"-1" piece of HDPE for the bottom of an aquarium with glass sides? I don't mean as starboard, I mean as the actual bottom piece. Would the glass bond to it well enough?
I'm curious....

littlesilvermax is correct. Silicone does not stick to HDPE well enough (if at all) for me to trust it to hold any sort of pressure.

Theres a company in the states that makes custom aquariums with some type of a plastic bottom. I remember seeing a build thread on RC a while ago, but can't find it. The basicly router a channel for the glass to slide into, im not sure how its glued together though. I would love to find that link agian though.
