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

Jeez the price I am getting quoted for a tank from a regular acrylic shop are crazy!!! Anywhere from $1200-2000.

I think if I can find a good price on the sheets, I will have my stepfather build it with me. He used to build glass tanks and although he has never used acrylic before, he has lots of tools, space and can build just about anything.

So, where is the best place to pick up a few 4x8' sheets of 1/2" or 3/4" acrylic?

Anyone able to get a good deal anywhere

The best prices I found are at Associated Plastics & Supply in Vancouver (they take cash only) I looked into building 180G 72,24,24. For a 1/2 inch sheet of Cell Cast they want $381 and I figure it would take 1.5 sheets. So roughly $600. A 180 Reef ready at JL is under $800.

I did look into them already and got about the same price. Seems like there should be a better deal out there when you look at US prices for the same products Much, much cheaper.

I have a 180 already along with a 240, both in my parents basement. I don't want another standard tank or I wouldn't be looking for a builder.
