Lost as in crashed? That's cool that you are close..you will have to pop over when you can.

crashed,, no.. roomate didnt pay the power bill for 4 months, and waited till it was 880 bucks before telling anyone.. and we didnt have the funds to pay it,, and the power went out for 2 weeks.. and our apartments wouldnt allow a generator.. so i sold off most of my corals and lost the rest.. i still have all my rock at least

That's a shame! Well...come get some stuff!

When I looked into buying acrylic locally a few months back I found it would be about the same price to just get acrylic tanks from glasscages.com if they are going to be in the area soon at a reptile show (saves on shipping). You'd still have to do baffles though. I found inexpensive acrylic in smaller sizes (approx 1'x2'x3/16 or so) at Skycraft Surplus in Winter Park.

They are going to be in the area for a reptile show. March I think..in Tampa.

Call different plastic companies in town and see what they have. It's much better to use cell cast acrylics versus extruded although cast is more expensive it is better for a water application. Tell them you are looking for a deal and they sometimes have singled out sheets that they will make you a good deal on. I got my last sheet from Laird Plastics and found a pretty good deal. GE Polymer has an office here too and they are worth checking out. They all have Weldon - don't forget to get an applicator
