fyi ppl, the cost will depend almost entirely on how much your acrylic supplier charges per sheet. I made a 60gal acrylic tank and used one sheet and the company charged me 250$ just for the full sheet and cuttings.
advise: don't rush. Practice a lot before going ahead and doing the real thing. Go to your supplier and ask for scrap pieces. here's a good time to learn how to finish the edges of the panes to be glued. I made three little 1gal open top boxes this way just for practice. Make sure you're good enough at this stuff that your tests don't leak a drop. try prying the tests apart to break em to get an idea how much strength is needed to take it apart.
