acrylic

Okay, what is the difference between the acrylic that they make tanks out of and the plexiglass you get at home depot? Can I make dividers with small holes from the plexi or should I figure its too expensive and possibly deadly to the fish?

Hello, has anyone resealed an acrylic tank before? I have a small minor water leak on the bottom middle seam and figured I'll ask to see if anyone has done it before or knows someone that has. Thanks for the help Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

So I am replacing my Glass 180 tank with an Acrylic 180

I have a hang-on refugium made by cpr. would it be safe to bleach it? I had it on a tank for a couple months but I thought the coarse blue pad would scratch it. now I've emptied it and need to clean it. want to sell it but it's rather dingy at the moment. thanks

At long last... we have set up our new tank! The tank is a 125 gallon, 72" x 18" x 21" acrylic. It has a wood stand with magnet grasped acrylic panels on 3 sides. It is relatively high (40" high stand) because we wanted to use it in a bar area with a high top table and be eye level with the...

I decided to model a large sump after the ecosystem miracle mud sump. Found some plans on the net and once I had acquired some acrylic which was 1/2 inch thick. I know that 1/2 inch is crazy but when you get free acrylic beggers cant be choosers. I learned alot about working with acrylic doing...

I am new to the area and just received my household goods. They did not crate my custom 125 gallon acrylic tank as they should have. It is scratched up pretty bad and I watched them yank on the base and possibly break the footing. I am looking for some one who can repair the tank and ensure that...

Hi. I have a used acrylic 150 that appears to have crazing or something similar on most of the surface. It almost looks like tiny bubbles and seems to follow curved lines. Maybe as if someone cleaned it with a chemical that damaged it. It is only on the outside of the tank. I tried to sand it...

I noticed that someone was selling a large acrylic aquarium on here this morning and thought that some of you might like to see my you tube video on an acrylic aquarium that I bought on craigs listing. Video shows the tools required to restore a scratched acrylic. If you have any...

I am contemplating purchasing a large fish tank, probably around 8' x 3' x 30" I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for local, well-established, businesses with showrooms where I can see the products firsthand that produce such tanks on a regular basis. Thanks!

I'm ordering a custom set up from a local guy for a new reef set up. I've never owned an acrylic tank, thought maybe I'd try acrylic since the cost is a little less than a star fire glass tank. I know several members have acrylic tanks, opinions please?

Just picked up a 60" acrylic 125 for less than what Caleb (a.k.a. "Warbucks") spent at the auction yesterday - very good shape (the tank that is) but has one six inch scratch and could do with a good buffing to make it more or less pristine. Would really appreciate a solid link to a proven DIY...

Has anyone in this club done a DIY acrylic project such as a sump / algae scrubber or an aquarium build. I would like to do smaller projects, but haven't found anyone that has cell cast acrylic in the NOVA area. does anyone know where I can buy sheets of acrylic locally, or of any shops...
