Local source for 4" diameter Acrylic or PVC?

[psimitry]

So I've decided to give a go at building my own Kalk reactor.

Anyone know where I could get the 4" diameter acrylic or PVC for the body?

Also - has anyone built their own and have experience/tips in doing it?

Erm... nobody?

Bump for the evening crew?

Found it online, but I'd prefer to get it locally if I can...

How big of a piece are you looking at - I'm wanting to make a kalk reactor myself. If its a 3-4 ft piece I might be able to split it with you.

I tried Regal Piedmont - but - they don't carry 4" - theres another place downtown - but - there not open until monday (Laird Plastics I think.

I need about 2' of 4" diameter clear PVC. I found it on a website though. It's $24/foot though.

Found this guy on ebay:

This is a decent choice - it 3/16" thick - and cast - and $105+30 for a 5' piece.

I'm actually trying to avoid using acrylic as opposed to PVC if I can. Apparently it's a lot easier to cut/drill without any cracks. In addition, regular PVC glue will work with it instead of having to use weld-on.

Makes sense - I'm wanting to use the acrylic so I can "practice" before I attempt building my own sump.

I never could find any local.
