Acrylic Work in MN

[umdivx]

I am on a budget so I am wondering if anyone in the MN area has built an Acrylic tank before?

Looking to build a custom sized sump for my biocube stand and trying to keep the costs down as much as possible.

thanks,
Josh

what size sump do you want to make ?
I made my sump

well the dimensions I have to work with are 18" x 15" x 12 to 16" tall.

want to base it off of this design or sort of like it:

I went to A1 Acrylic in Osseo last night and they want $195 to cut all the acrylic and router it, basically to the point of gluing it.

my issue is I don't have access to a table saw or router to get the pieces ready

you could check some of the places on ebay and see what it would cost. might be a little cheaper and its not overy large so shipping should be somewhat fair. 195 for the pieces and another 10 for glue wouldnt be to bad. otherwise go to walmart and see if you can find a plastic container around that size. if your worried about it leaching anything into the water just spay the inside with fusion.
