Custom Acrylic Tanks

[MIT_David]

Does anyone local make custom acrylic tanks to specific sizes? Looking for something 40" width by 10" deep and something around 12" tall.

I don't know about anyone in your area but it's pretty easy to build an acrylic tank. Acrylic can be easily cut with a cordless circular saw running water on the blade to keep it cool (use a 36 tooth carbide blade). Weldon #40 or #44 is a much stronger glue than #3, #4 or #16 but it does take a little practice as it's rather viscous and takes a few minutes to set up so peices have to be braced so they don't move and it wants about 1mm gap (I use tiny thin chips as spacers).
