Has anyone ever done this? If so, is there a downside? could it get dirty inside?
The clear PVC is twice the cost of the Acrylic and but the problem is im not sure if I can glue the PVC to the Acrylic because they only make PVC elbows.

you can use weldon 16 or 40 I believe to join them, problem is it will be coated with algae in no time and look bad. and the fact that it is close to 80X more expensive than just using regular PVC
