make it yourself, just go to lowes and have them cut sheets of the size you want and glue them together. its very simple.

or use weld on ,it is specially made for acrylic and it creates a chemical bond between the 2 pieces of acrylic. weld on 3 or 4 read up google will set you free

It's easy to build one. You can get weld-on from a local plastic supplier in your area. The acrylic you can get at HD or lowes. doesn't need to be thick. I built one, but I would suggest drilling many holes in it for flow underneath, something I wish I did first time around. About once a month I have to pull the skimmer and stand and clean out underneath.

look at this:http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=2832#
I was in the same boat. Hit the Lowes and smallest acrylic they sold in decent thickness ran around $17.00, and then a tube of Weld-on was $13.00. I called a couple of LFS to see if they would throw something together out of scrap, ( I needed 8X8X2 high), found one close that would do it for $20.00. So give a couple of your local guys a call and see what they might come up with.

A fine tooth metal saw blade. get the largest tooth count possible and you will be fine, just take your time cutting it. :thumbsup:
