    It looks like I am going to have to modify my wet dry so that the drain lines have a downward slope. Does any body out in 3 Reef land know what glue I should use on acrylic that is also reef safe.

    weld-on #3 for acrylic to acrylic. Don't use weld-on #4 not strong enough. Some places cannot sell them, just find a place where they sell.
