I need a Tank!

[Bullet]

Does anyone have any tanks laying around they want to sell?

I am looking for a something like a 20gal acrylic..two if possible. It must be acrylic. I am done with glass! I am using them for my refugium and frag tank. I could even go with a 40 gal or something like that and just put a divider in. I am limited to 4 feet long and like 18inches wide. Or does anyone know where I could have one made or buy one cheep. I don't care what it looks like as long as it is acrylic and holds water.

If you had 24 inches and 6 foot I'd sell you my acrylic sump thats on my 75.....I need to down size it, were going to be moving in august or september and I'd rather not have to move that thing

Does it have an overflow on it?

What are all the dimensions of it?

Why dont you just make one. I made one from acrylic & weld on 4. It was soooooo easy

Really!!??

How big was your that you made and how much did it cost? Ideally I would like on that is 18" wide x 4 foot long. Then I could even drill it and make an overflow in it on one side.

Where did you get all your supplies?

It is 24"12"12". I also put in 3 dividers to make it into 4 sections. I think the whole thing cost me about 20 bucks. USPlastics.com has acrylic. Also Regal Plastics in Evansdale carries everything. I am pretty sure I have a bunch of weld on left so you are welcome to that. Like I said, it was very easy. The weld on in a tube works best, especially for something that isnt a show piece. Melev's web sight uses stuff for show condition. His way works, but is also much more work. Let me know if you want some help with it. Mine went from a bunch of pieces to holding water in an hour.

What is the ideal thickness when using acrylic? Are there any calculators that determine thickness based on amount of water?

How long before Bob says, "I'm done with Acrylic."

What caused you to say you are done with glass?

I'll have a 40gal tank, but it will be glass for like 30bucks. If you can't find anything acrylic.
