Hey fellow FRAGGERS :)
sadly my 40 gallon breeder tank cracked .. no idea how.
So all my stuff is in buckets.

I need an acrylic guy who can make me a tank for real good value, very small budget.

Any connections?

THanks!
 
What do you want done? Honestly, anyone who has the tools and experience to build something that you would want to fill with water and put in your house probably won't be cheap. The material is expensive too. I have done it and learned that it takes a lot of time or very expensive machines. I think it would be sweet if a local had big table saw and router that would let people come and try to build their own tanks, sumps, etc.. The only problem with that is people getting hurt or taking advantage of the situation. Might be better off buying a cheap acrylic tank off CL and polishing it yourself.
 
I have a guy in Tempe that builds acrylic tanks. He just did a great job putting overflows in my 300 gallon. Hit me up if you want his name and number.

Domenic is great at building tanks, however i am not to fond of him after he told me to load my 10' tank and meet him at his building at 2pm to drop it off and never showed up to meet me. I called him 10 times, I even had Quinn from aquarium arts call him and his son with no answer. I called him and texted him for three weeks and he didn't call back once.

So I gave up on him and was able to get my overflows done by Cesar.

Give him a try, maybe you will have better luck.

That is terrible. PM me Cesar's #, maybe I will give him a shot next time I need acrylic work done.
 
yea i need something cheap and fast. I was thinking of now just putting an acrylic split wall into a 20l and putting my sump behind it with a pump and a jet nozzle. That should work just fine. AZ Plastics is my go to place but they charge for every penny and right now i dont have a dime to spare :(

Thanks i really appreciate it! Carlos was able to give me a 10 gallon tank he had laying around his store (Aquarius) for now so i am transferring it all over soon.

What do you all think i should do on a maybe 50 dollar budget??
 
Okay so I got a temporary fix. Working on including the skimmer on this solution.

Thinking of getting a custom tank next year. I'll head up there to get my supplies thanks for the tip and ill hit up the tank dude you guys suggested.
