acrylic

Looking for a large sump (60-72" long x 20-22" wide), in South Florida area.

Hello, I have a had a couple builds on here before, but they were cut short due to life circumstances. I am taking my time on this build and I know it is still a ways away from being filled with water, simply because of the gear I want is pricey and I am willing to wait for it. This is the...

I recently purchased a used 220 gallon acrylic aquarium, I've been spending a few weeks cleaning/sanding/buffing it to bring it back to looking crystal clear, the only issue is there are two 1" gashes near the back of the tank, they're about an 1/8" deep at the deepest, so they're too deep to...

Sump is all acrylic, with beveled flush mount lid over sock chamber. Fired edges for a smooth round finish. Sock chamber holds 4” Filter sock. Floating center return section gives it a unique design. 10gallon-75gallon Ask any questions in PM Local Pickup in Central Florida area. Not sure what...

I see this is a common tank used by many. I am looking to set up the 80g 48x24x16 version. Where do most buy them from? I see Amazon has them, but an odd description is listed so I am not 100% sure on that... but that is cheaper than the other site I saw them on. Any other options for a cheaper...

Longtime R2R reader, first-time poster. Earlier this morning I received my first batch of online ordered coral frags (3 acros, 2 Montis from liveaquaria.com & 2 Acros, 2 Lobos, 1 GSP and 1 Dragon Tounge from pacificeastaquaculture.com.) Here's an acrylic frag rack that I made using a piece of...

So, we're getting real close to finished with our 450g office build. One of the final things on the list (which should have been initiated weeks ago) is ordering acrylic lids for the tank. I am absolutely blown away by the look of the artfully acrylic lids, but there are so many threads of...

Hello R2R. First post here, however I have been following the forum and researching certain topics in anticipation for my reef build for a while now... which leads me onto my newly acquired tank. I found a quarter cylinder 60 gallon 1/2" acrylic aquarium for a sweet deal on Craigslist. It was...

I am waiting on my new trigger acrylic sump to come in and was wondering if it's safe to dose vinegar into the sump? I will have it on a dosing pump delivering 30 ml over 8 hours. I have read where you can't store vinegar in acrylic but wasn't sure about dosing because it will be very diluted.

Alright. So dilemma here. I have a 55 gallon acrylic tank. Had it up and running for approx 6 months. When I bought it, all it had for a return is a 1" hose. I want to hardplumb the tank so I purchased all the piping I'd need and bulkheads. The return goes into the tank from the top, so there's...

New to the hobby, so not too much to show. Working on my first reef tank. It's a 55 gallon bowed acrylic tank. The tank sits on a cherry stained wood stand. I bought the tank used which came with some equipment, 1 clown, and approximately 50 lbs. of live rock. Since receiving this tank in Nov...

I am very active on a similar mega-thread elsewhere but I couldn't find an active one here on R2R. @Troylee started the Acrylic 101!!!!! thread a while back, but it doesn't look like he's very active here anymore. Maybe this thread will suck him back in, he has great advice. SHORT CUT LIST...
