Acrylic/crystalite for refugium

[beginnermatt]

I went to home depot to chesk out the acrylic sheets. Large pieces 48"x24"x1/4" cost $33. Some other stuff crystalite next to it cost $11 a smaller piece 24"x18"x1/4" Anyone know about this stuff and can it be used in place of acrylic? I may build a sump or refugium. Thanks

mburnickas,
Looking back are there any tips you could give me. Does the crystalite work the same as acrylic. I'm not familiar with the adhesive.

crystalite is yellowish or green. It is not as good (cheaper). I used the Acrylic at HD for $59 per a 36 X 76 sheet. it is thicker and better
Sorry if I messed ya up. Busy day at work and my car died on the way in! Nothing like a 4 mile walk at 5:30 am!

I've pushed my car off to the side of the road once around 4am. It started after awhile. Makes for a good workout.

My car just died. Then to top it off the Lexus dealer will not give me a car until 8 HOURS goes by! What a joke. Nothing like a nice workout in the am...
