Arcrylic sheet, where to get

[rickb]

I called canal plastics and they want 8 bucks a square foot. Seems excessive?I need to build a sumo and refugium and I'm wondering if there's a better place with a better price. Eplastics.com seems to have better prices I wonder if the shipping will be worth it.

Anyone know the name of this place? The glass place would be great too. I'm just worried about getting my buddy to drive me out there and wandering aimlessly.

Is it possible to use small fish tanks?

Can't , I need it sized to my cabinet, regular tank would be too big or too small.

I'm having the same problem finding good cell cast acrylic suitable for tank building. Trying to build a 120 48x24x24 plus a sump. I need something good for a good price... There are alot of businesses selling acrylic but not all acrylic is the same. There is a price difference for a reason. When cementing acrylic, some brands weld better than other.

plastic prices are tied to oil prices. When the price of oil goes up, so does plastic.

Check sign shops in your area.

Julio's plastic in brooklyn. Check yahoo yellow pages. Don't know if he is still in business.

~250$ a sheet is a bit expensive but canal was always the more expensive for acrylic sheets.

ET plastics is another place in long island city you can check out. Block or so away from northern blvd.
