not worth ...

asked before when passby a glass shop .

if you need specific sizes ,

ie. corner edges right -angle, holes or such ... they charge by cutting i.e how many cuts... on the glass ... ends up more expensive then buying a ready one .

Any one know about using acrylic ? costing ?

thanks

i noe reborn sell their custom made sump tank rather cheap about $35-40..

Go and ask them.. its not worth making it out of a normal tank adding all the acrylic and silicon is not cheap..

i saw aqua star selling a 4 ft by 1 ft by 5 mm think acrylic sheet for $30.

silicon will be about $5-$8.. plus ur $12 normal tank ..

equals... $50.. worth it or not .. u decide.. ;)
