DIY tank building ?

[makai]

Acrylic....
do you guys have any links to a site that sells acrylic sheets.
thinking of building a small rectangle for a reef...small and no fish...
36" x 10" x 10" table top
suggestions on thickness would help too.
thanx

Hey makai how is it going. usplastics.com has acrylic sheet. You want clear cast acrylic. Your height only has to be 1/4" but because of the length I would recomend 2 cross beam supports. You are also going to need weld-on #4 and #16 for glue.

thank you....
once i get my plans together i'll post them for suggestions and modifications. I had a quote sent to me for the same size tank from an on-line custom tank site....$484...... Never!!! i'd by a pre-fab glass for a 1/4 of the price.

Jesus assuming you want it 10" tall, by 36" long, I could do it for $180.00
