The glue is pure silicone sealant and you can buy it in large caulk gun sized tubes in the hardware department of places like Walmart or in Lowes, Home Depot type stores. Be sure to get a brand that says it's safe for aquariums.

You need to buy silicone that is non-toxic. The best place to get it is at an aquarium store. You are already saving money by making the tank and not buying it, so don't go cheap on the silicone, or you will have a very wet floor.

You use pure silicon for sealing an aquarium. Make sure that you don't get any that have an antimold or antifungal additive. You want 100% pure silicon and you can get it in large caulk tubes at most good hardware stores.

They are called Silicone Sealant or aquarium sealant, these are usually available in DIY shops, but don't just buy any, look for one that says for aquarium use.

The reason you notice this during the evening/night is because of photosynthesis. During the day the plants/algae in the tank are producing oxygen, but at night they shut down. You need to put in a filter or an air pump that will agitate the surface of the water. Most of the oxygen that the fish need is dissolved into the water through surface agitation.
