I have what might be a stupid question but I have no idea of the answer. Please don't chew my head off but I am new to this stuff. People order live sand and have it shipped to their house and I had an idea(my friend actually). Need opinions. What if we just went down to the beach ourselves...

I might be open to parts also. If you have stuff near Reno or sacramento reply to this. I am looking to get going on this stuff soon.

Hopefully this doesn' tget edited but if you go to duboisi dot com it has step by step directions on how to build a tank out of acrylic. I have built 2 already (small but held water perfectly) and it was very acurate. Try it out.

In my town the stuff is $145 or so for a 4x8 sheet of 3/8. So for something smaller it would be cheaper. I don't know exactly because I have never looked into stuff smaller than 3/8.

Well I was going to make my own tank but I think I wanna wait till I get to a bigger one for that. I live in Reno,NV and am looking for a complete set up around 75 or so gallons. If there is anyone around here or CA getting rid of such stuff let me know.

Yeah especially when YOUR state shakes all the time. And MY state is right next to YOUR state. So MY state is bound to shake sometime. LMAO Besides, I would want something that I can cut and drill myself if needed w/o having to shut down my system for a long period of time to take it to someone...

For some reason it wouldn't let me post my sump design. Anywho I could do that but I can't drill glass for one and I can't find a tank here in town bigger than 20 Gal. w/o tank supplies packaged with it. At this point it is almost easier for me to order an acrylic one and go from there.

I am actualy going to build my own tank bacause it will be 36"L X 24"W X 18 3/4"T. It comes out to 70.125 Gal. This will be my first saltwater tank so I don't wanna go huge for my first one. The reason I am building my own is because it is going to cost less than half what one would be to buy...

Thank you for your help. Here it is around 160 or so for an acrylic tank that is around 40 gal. I will "look" arounnd for tanks that are cheaper than in my area.

Ok I am making a 70 gallon tank out of acrylic and I want to do a sump/fuge. Here goes. I want to know if you guys can post pics of not only their sumps but also of thier overflow boxes. I know it's a weird request but I am trying to find the best design to build into my tank. Also I have been...

As far as cost it is going to be around $165 total for supplies and all. I think the savings are worth building it myself.

No sorry it would be 18.75" tall. 24" wide and 36"long. Sorry for the confusion. Would 3/8 work for that?

Ok here goes. I have built glass tank before but I am venturing into acrylic. First off the tank will be 36x18.75x24 and I have calculated that I will need to use 3/8" material. Is this right? I also wanted to ask a question about the corners. I have been told that you have to use braces on the...
