Yes what do you need made, we build acrylic tanks and sumps, but are not in SD. Maybe I can help you out though. What size sheets, brand, and what dimension tank.

I'm sorry it's not 1/2" thick acrylic but 3/8", I have 2 sheets. I'm thingking of getting 2 - 120 gal. off it (48x24x24). Give me a price to make 2 tanks off my acrylic sheets.

thank you

Well unless they are over sized at 4'x10', you will not get 2 tanks that size, and just for your info 20" tall should be the maximum for 3/8" acrylic, too much bowing IMO to go 24". The max size tank would be 48x18x20 for a regular 4x8 sheet.

Oh and what brand of acrylic is it that you have???

[ringo]

I don't know what brand but it's cell cast acrylic.

[socalcreations]

Humm, well brand is very important when building a tank. You don't really want to use imported Acrylic as the seam strength becomes a liablility. Domestic acrylic is really the best way to go, brands such as Cyro, Spartech, and plexiglas are the only reccomended brands to use IMO. My advice is to find out what brand you have, otherwise I would be worried about long term reliability.

Just wanted to drop a quick word in for SocalCreations. They do outstanding work, plus Randy and Steve are great to deal with. Good luck with the tank!

oh yeah,

I bought a 150 tank from them and their work was great and they were just two awesome people.

btw, they even helped me out with getting it to my house and in the door.

just 2 really cool guys to deal with.
