Acrylic Tank Building

[Hifiguy]

Anyone out there do any acrylic tank building or is anyone who knows what they are doing building acrylic willing to help me?

I'm trying to figure out if I should build a new sump for a my tank or make the random glass tanks I have sitting around the new sump by connecting them to each other to make a sump the size that I want.

I would make sure the sump is what you want. I've done the piece-meal thing enough times and I get tired of setting it up and then 2 months later I want to take it all apart because its just not working as well as I would like. You can often find a sump that in the ballpark unless you want one with bioball chambers, etc.
