PVC or ABS sheet sources

[Lbrdsoxfan]

Ok, I'm assembling a 80/20 stands for my cube tank, and I need a topper for the tank to sit on and something for the sump also to sit on.

DIY gurus who are you using for sheet cut to size, as I need 2x pieces of 24" x 24". Will try to hunt locally also, but want to see about other sources!

TIA!!

Grainger, Amazon or any local sign supplier or plastic shop should carry it.. it’s normally a 4x8 sheet and comes anywhere from 1/8” to 1” thick.. I believe you can get smaller pieces online.

Yes I agree w/ Troy my local plastic shop has all this in stock and a sheet of 1/4 pvc (foam) is like $62 I think abs is even cheaper . I may build a control board so I have been pricing it out . Also they will cut to size generally for a small fee ..

I'm leaning towards ABS just for cost, since it's just a topper for the stand and to hold the sump. Going to check a few outfits after work as well. Hoping 24" x 24" isn't too drastic of cost, trying to see about keeping the stand cost inline, as my 120g tank will be next if this works out like I want it to cost wise.

It is reasonable especially if you go 1/4”
