Building a tank...

Why do you say arcylic is not so expensive? What have you found.

I checked around town here. I can get a 0.5" sheet of acrylic for $500. Or
I could buy Lexan, which would be about the same strength as a 1.5" thick
sheet of acrylic (according to the guy I just called here at a plastic shop,
but I shall check the PDFs on the product before I do anything ). He said
its the same stuff that they make bus shelters out of and its practically
indestructible. Anyways that runs for a little cheaper then the acrylic, so
now I've got my ballpark figure I say its going to be cheaper in
relation to what we have to pay here for tanks. A 100G tank here cost
anywhere from $1500-2000, I don't know what prices run where you are but
fish keeping isn't exactly a big thing here and the price/selection reflects
that. The local stores had a Xmas dealy happening and they were proud to
boast that they now have 55g tanks for the low price of $899. Comes with a
$10 filter/pump combo and a bag of substrate...ridiculous.





I will admit there ar days when I fanatasize about an enormous
aquarium built on the bedrockbelow this place that sticks up
20 feet in the center of the house, but that's public aquarium
dimensions.

Sure would be a neat way to hear the house though :-)

Build it in a garage That's my dream.
