Talk to Codfather.
I know for a fact Bob is good with acrylics. Whether or not he wants to build a tank, I don't know. I think he built his previous one from acrylic. BUT the cost of that much acrylic os going to be astronomical!! I bought a small piece.. 1/4' thick by about 16x20" for $30 just for a sock holder. I can't even guess the cost of a thicker huger piece! Good luck.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

my sump is a very strange shape, but it holds 25g full, i have a bubble trap from the skimmer/filter sock compartment to the LR/chaeto compartment, then a baffle to the return pump section and the acrylic was over 300$. its only 1/4" thick as well.
