I have the tools and a bit of experience. I built my skimmer and my 30G sump. I am tempted to try something much larger but often wondered if it is cost effective. I found Associated Plastics in East Van to have the best prices for sheet Acrylic.

Yeah I am not too sure yet if it is indeed cost effective. I have not been able to find an acrylic tank builder in town to compare prices. When I lived down in Florida, I was looking for a tank builder and was able to find like a dozen in a few hours but here there just doesn't seem to be too many that are easy to find. Seems kind of weird.
I have been able to price out acrylic...looking at 2 sheets for this project which works out to just under $800. Don't know if I would be able to find anything much cheaper.

Hmmm... I cant remember if it was you or not but we were supposed to get a quote for building a tank from Tenecor in the states. I'm not sure if Raf ever did! Let me see if I can look up a approx. price for you today. It would be cheaper, but it would be in US $ plus you'd have to pay brokerage fees at the border.
If you can't find anyone to help u build it might be an option. Cheers -Diana

I don't think it was me actually. Although I don't remember because I was looking all over at the beginning of last year! If you do get a quote though, that would be awesome. I am interested in finding out what they would charge. Thanks!

Yes I tried them last year and found the price to be a bit much.
