Does anyone know where to get large sheets of plexiglass, acrylic. If you do can you drop me an email at arf123452003@yahoo.com

check any Glass company. They should have it. Thats where I found WeldOn #3 to build my sump.

Check the Yellow Pages for plastics dealers....Shipping would be rather expensive!!!!

What size sheets are you looking for and thickness?

This spring I will be building a tank like requiems. I dont know if you seen his on the agressive thread but it is fairly large. My dad owns a cement masonery company so theres no problem with making the aquarium walls and such. I am looking for the best deal for a sheet about 10ft to 12ft in length 4ft high and Im told it should be about 3inches thick. I hope requiem can give me info on where he got his materials becuase he said it cost him about 2 grand.

dude homed epot has them in the windows department.. i just bought a few pieces to make a over flop and sections in my sump.. they got two diff sizes.. i bought an 11x24 for like 3 bucks of the thinner kind.. the quarter is about 6-9 bucks

thats gonna cost a grip for soemthing that thick..

this local company sells like 4x8 ft .25 for about 90 bucks clear..

Sounds like an awesome tank, but think your going to have to hunt to find that thickness and it was my understanding that; it's hard to get and is going to be very pricey.....I visit my acrylics dealer every monday, and I'm going to ask him to give me a price on something like that......

 

[sharkguy22]

Thanks can you post the price when you find out. Im lookin everywhere. Im gonna call local places maybe even the aquarium. Lookin for the best deal.

 

[acrylic51]

Will call my supplier, but I guarantee it's going to be a healthy price tag for what your looking for........

I found a place where I can get the sheets precut to build a 48L x 24D x 18Tall ( 3/8" acrylic, 90 gal) tank for $288 delivered. Email me reef_dweller69@verizon.net. Don't know if I can post it here.
