rosslonghorns Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I've started thinking about plans for adding a refugium to my tank and before I pick up acrylic to build it myself, thought I would see if anything is lying around that fits my dimensions. I'm looking for something rectangle / square. Max would be 32" x 18". Also has to be acrylic. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosslonghorns Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 One last check before attempting the DIY project. My updated dimensions on what would fit under my stand is: 28 x 12ish x 16 high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosslonghorns Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 I picked up Acrylic on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dena Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Expensive wasn't it. My husband picked me up a sheet Friday as well. I could have sworn it was $50 cheaper the last time he bought some. We're doing the sump first...going to be about 3ft long, but almost 2ft deep and about 18" tall. Hubby has already started working on it, but he screwed up the second cut and had to buy another piece from Home Depot...it was the back part and he literally has every inch of that large sheet spoken for. I'd love to see your finished product!!! Dena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosslonghorns Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Where did you end up getting it? I had shopped around and found that Laird Plastics had the best pricing. It was just over $100 for a 4x8 sheet of 1/4" acrylic. It was much cheaper than Regal. My project only requires 4x4, so it is costing me around $60 with all the supplies. Should get started on it next weekend and will post pictures once completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dena Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Regal...now I know where to go for my new fuge. Crap...that's like $50/sheet cheaper than Regal. My husband has mine all glued together...he kind of screwed up with one little section, but I can work around it. The new sump is pretty dang big, I'll measure it tonight. It's good because I kind of fell in love with a 215g tank at River City and now am going to save to buy one. The new sump will cover it with no problems, just need a new skimmer.
