I am looking for the following container to be built out of acrylic to be used as my H2O auto top of reservoir. Please hit me up with a quote to include total job cost and time frame.

H2O tank is below the main tank to the right of the sump!

In case some of you are wondering, yes the tank is an upgrade to a 90g display tank (30"x30"x9" - corner pentagon/Lee Mar Starfire) :)

To be ordered probably end of the summer!

Recommendation: Instead of extruded, it's best to go with a G-grade type or cast arcylic due to the stronger bonding and durablity properities. It costs a bit than the extruded arcylic.

That quote seems high since my entire sump cost me $120.00 custom built...

Cast acrylic prices have gone up and are more expensive if purchased in 1/2 sheets than full sheets (4'x8'). I would help you build one if I had more time.

I do have extra pieces of 3/8" cast clear but it would be more expensive to build.
