Default Acrylic Questions

Does light shine through black acrylic? Will crazy glue bond acrylic to those little clear plastic (are they acrylic too?) airhose connectors? I'm trying to rig up an automatic BBS feeder that will be right in the grow-out tank.

if its solid black acrylic, light will not shine through. crazy glue will work but not very strong and it may break off because its brittle. Weldon 16 will work better because the clear plastic airhose connectors are not acrylic but Weldon16 is a very flexible glue that will bond many plastics together.
