Ok, have a couple of requests here.

1 - Where in Surrey/Vancouver can I find acrylic

2 – There was a calculator for thickness of glass in a tank.
Where is that again?

3 – Do you think an 8 gallon reef is too big for a desk?

Thanks everybody.

I know about the ones on RC but can not find the one for calculating the thickness.
Want to run an 8 G - 24 X 10 X 8

GE Polymer Shapes. In Coquitlam, sort of under the Port Mann. You can find thier address an canada 411. Half the price of the industrial plastics out here. They will ship if you don't have time to drive. These days, it will likely cost the same to ship as to drive over the bridge in traffic. GARF has a good acrylic calculator.
