Hey guys, just constructing a frag rack here. Using PVC pipes as the support stands and I would like to glue it to my acrylic rack portion of the design. What glue should I use for this? Does the clear frag glue work? Would I be better suited to try something else? Should I rough up the acrylic a bit before gluing?

I think Weldon 16 will bond acrylic and PVC. The clear cyanoacrylate glue will hold the pieces together, but don't expect it to be too strong.

try drilling the pvc and use zip ties and if glueing use a marine epoxy and rough up the pvc

That's how I would do it.
