motti April 20, 2013 Share April 20, 2013 Hi all, I am planning in putting together a 60g frag tank. I am thinking about using 3/8 cast acrylic. Any diyers buy acrylic locally ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind April 20, 2013 Share April 20, 2013 What sizes are you looking for? I might have some in the shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motti April 20, 2013 Author Share April 20, 2013 maybe 3 or 4 sheets of 24x48" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind April 20, 2013 Share April 20, 2013 What actual sizes are you planning to make it so I can see what I have? I might have smaller strips you can use for the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motti April 20, 2013 Author Share April 20, 2013 12x24x48. Not sure if it will be cheaper or should I get the 60g frag tank from premium aquatic, they got something for 300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind April 21, 2013 Share April 21, 2013 I just went out to shed to check but it looks like all the 3/8" I have are only about 6" x 30". I have two 48"x48" sheets of clear 1/4" and a 48"x48" sheet of black 1/4". I have a 3/4" piece that's 19"x33" and a 1" piece about the same size. I doubt any of that will work for you.

motti April 21, 2013 Author Share April 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks, I am not sure if 1/4" would be thick enough for 60g 12" high, what do you think based on your exp? Edited April 21, 2013 by motti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind April 21, 2013 Share April 21, 2013 If it was braced on the top I think it would work. Shot Adam at Artfully Acrylic a PM and get his insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 If anyone else needs the acrylic I've listed above let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco's Reefs April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 I'd like the 2 48x48x.25. I am building some tops for my aquariums and the stuff I have is too thin. I also still have those three gallon size bags of bio-balls I promised a while ago if you still need them. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 They are yours. Shot me a PM when you can meet, same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 So all three 48"x48" sheets are spoken for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
