I’m thinking about building my own aquarium out of acrylic, however I have three questions:
1) who is a good supplier for acrylic sheet? It appears that not all brands are equal. I know to get cast rather than extruded, but that is it.
2) what thickness would be appropriate for a tank that is 140 gallons and measures 36” long x 30” wide x 30” tall? Would 3/4” work?
3) what thickness would be appropriate for a 90 gallon tank of 36” long x 24” wide x 24” tall? Would 1/2” acrylic be sufficient here? Or should I go with 3/4” here as well?
Thanks for any input!
