Working with acrylic

I just got back from buying some acrylic sheets (and more herp books ) and I was wondering what's the best thing to bond the sheets together to make a vivarium.

I've been looking at Understory's dart frog viv design and figured I'd build one at home. I'll probably go to him for my frogs (good prices and local), but don't want to spend a fortune on a Viv I can make at home in a night or two.

I've got silicon already, but when talking to the paint guy at the Home Depot he suggested getting it from a pet store. Since pet store silicon is more expensive, is it really any different (less toxins?)

He also said contact cements and epoxies (the fumeless ones) would still give off enough poisons to kill fish and amphibians. Before I start sticking the pieces together I want to be sure I'm not signing a death warrant
