Does anyone help out by helping build acrylic tanks? We provide the food, drinks, and money and you provide the knowledge?
Any acrylic builders around?

I should've mentioned. Somewhere in the 120-150 range.

I could build a tank that size but I prefer to not do those size tanks. If you really want to build a tank like that I could offer you advice tell you what materials to buy and what type of glue to use. I wouldn't personally build it just for the liability reasons. I would build it for myself but that's because it if it fell apart at least it's in my house and not yours. Just so you know i have almost 20 years experience working with plastics and building tanks,sumps,reactors,and skimmers.

Would a tall skinny ATO res be something you could put together?

I'm sorry to hijack this post, but I have been thinking about a custom acrylic sump for quite some time now and I see that there are some experts here that may be able to answer this one.
My stand sucks, since it is split in half. Therefore, I only have enough space to put a very small sump on the one side, while leaving the other side for all the crap that you need to keep the reef running.
My question is... Can I/someone here build an effective sump with the measurements below and will this even be worth the effort?
13" Wide X 10" Long x 28" High(This height leaves some room for the hoses, skimmer cup, etc.)

What would be the materials and where would I get them?
