How much are you looking for?

 

[HFG]

I'm picking some up for a Clownnut's tank on Monday. If your talking clear I could pick up a sheet. If your looking for scrap you could ask clownnut if there will be any from his project.

Going rate (+$5/sht for Wopper Meal ):
.375” Clear acrylic $145/sht.
..500” Clear acrylic $205/sht.

We are going to pick up Monday or Tusday.

Oh, if you want it you would have to pick it up by tusday evening... since I don't currently have a storage rack for large pieces, and the van gets quite hot

HFG where are you getting your plastic from I just paid 227 for a 1/2 inch sheet. If you can share the secret PM me, if not i understand. :lol:

 

[HFG]

No secret. I have a company account with Laird. 169 x 694.

Ah I only needed the one sheet so no biggie, but i will keep that in mind if I ever need more. Thanks Steve

A1 is good if ya only need small pieces . $1 a pound for scrap. some of the scrap is really big.

I am looking to build a sump.
HFG when are you going? Someone has offered me a great deal on a sump if that works out I won't need it so I have to check and get back to you, but it would be a full sheet.
Sea Monkey thanks for the lead on scraps.

well lets hear about the sump......I am getting a new one on Mon or Tues from Li so it is up my alley right now. I am excited. i guess clownnut made it himself, it sure looks like he knew what he was doing. Here it is here.

What are your plans for the sump? Are you gonna use any bio media or sponges or anything? I think I am gonna construct a tray system so i can more easily run carbon, maybe cap off the right 1/3 of the sump and drill in bulkheads for input and put a drain through tray system in. I also am gonna drill a hole for an external return and will probably do an external skimmer as well. Honestly the sump design is almost as fun as the tank design. Have fun!

I am going to look at it today and then I will know more if it will work or not. It will be going under a AGA 210g with the stand being about 40 inches high and 26 inches wide. So I have to see if it fits my layout as I don't know exact demensions. I just know it is acrylic and is in my price range. Being acrylic I figure it will be easier for me to mood to my liking if need be.

 

[smeese]

what kind of setup are you doing in your 210?

 

[laja9801]

I may try the new URI T5s over the top and put some lower maintence SPS towars the top with the rest being SPS. I have a Majestic Angel that will be the Center Piece fish, but I am hoping he doesn't pick at any of the corals as he has never been in a reef tank before. Only in a fish only setup since I have had him.

I'm still recovering from the "interesting" campfire jokes told at Fosters... So, I don't know our schedual, but we will likely pick up in the morning (Monday).

 

[laja9801]

I just want to make sure that you don't get one for me. I am already covered. Thanks
