Jimbo662 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Anyone know of a place that sells square acrylic rods...other than Regal Plastics? I just wasted a trip all the way over there only to walk in the door and see they went from a $25 minimum order to $50!!!!! I don't need that much acrylic!

lenver Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Home Depot has acrylic street markers, you just take the top of it off and you have your fiberglass rod, oh I see you wanted square one's? How much are they? I need to build some towers also for my big tank, I can take some of them if they're not expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 The 1/4" rods are around $2.50 each. not sure what the cost would be for the size you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 If you have time, tap plastics or us plastics are good online vendors. Have you checked grainger possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 nothing on Grainger's site. I'll check the others to see what shipping costs are. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sascha D. Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Here are a few places you can buy rods if anyone else is looking. http://www.regal-plastics.com/ http://www.tapplastics.com/product/plastics/plastic_rods_tubes_shapes/acrylic_rods/147 Also, to be clear the flag markers at Home Depot are not acryllic. They are fiberglass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
