Anyone know a good acrylic site ?

[Pirate]

I recently switched my tank from a 75 to a 125, I have a black acrylic hood that I had suspended from the ceiling with my lighting. Well needless to say, the hood is 2 feet too short for the new tank. I bought a hanging pendant light to hang in addition to the old hood, well this looks pretty nasty. But you know how it goes the main thing is to get light to the tank. I did that ! But now I need to manufacture another complete hood and incorporate all the lights into one unit. I would like for this to be black acrylic due to the weight limitations and ease of adjustment etc. So I now am looking for somewhere to go to have a new hood made. Any ideas or links would be appreciated.

this is where i got my sump and refugium tanks custom made...

http://www.jmkdisplays.com/

great workmanship and really affordable prices...im not sure if they could make you a canopy or not but i bet they could...i would email Jay the owner and tell him what your lookin for...

his prices were about half of what i found on other sites and anything i could find locally...

**my only problem was my first tank broke during shipping...so i had to wait FOREVER to get a replacement...no fault of jmk's (except they coulda packed it better)...but the good ole postal service takes forever to settle insurance claims i guess...


you could always just build one out of wood with the help of some of your local reefer pals!?!...
