Acrylic or Glass

[Mrfish55]

I have built a number of tanks, also re-sealed a number of large tanks, unless you enjoy the DIY projects I would recomend you just buy one, unless you know somebody in the glass buisiness that can give you a deal, you will find the materials to build will cost as much or more than buying a ready made tank and a DIY has no warranty. If you are looking to save a few bucks I have a like new 180 w/dual overflow I will sell at good deal

Excuse my naivity but they don't seem too complicated and if you eurobrace the top it would be pretty solid. If I am way off please try not to refer to me as a complete idiot in your reponse.
