The plastics distributor near me only carries 1/2" and 3/4" thick sheets so I'm not sure that acrylite GP comes in 5/8" thick. Other brands might come in that size.

I want to do a 75 or 90 gallon with acrylic. Not sure if I would need 3/8 or 1/2 though. Someone told me 3/8 for the 75, but def. 1/2 for a 90.

Personally i would go 1/2", but I tend to overbuild things. With good bracing on the top you could probably get by with 3/8". What is the height? A standard 75 gallon is around 18-20" tall. Water pressure increases exponentially as the tank gets taller.

Yeah, maybe ill just go with 1/2 and make a 90. Never can have enough water! I read somewhere to only use cell-cast acrylic for tanks, but the distributor near me only sells acrylite FF which says its extruded, but also goes by cast. Im confused. 3/4 inch is like 12.10 a square foot. Yikes.

$800 seems a bit steep. Are you getting this price from a local plastics supplier? My local plastics supplier has .708 thick Acrylite GP listed at 14.02 per sq ft on their website. Although I'm not sure how accurate the price is or how often they update their website price list. But $14.02 X 32 sq ft = $448.64 per sheet.
I'd keep an eye on the crab and keep him well fed if you plan to keep him. Although it would be high on my list of suspects if something was to get eaten. Maybe he would taste good with some lemon butter sauce! |

I was just about to read a few pages of Calfo's book and go to bed but I'll hop in the chat room for a few. Give me a minute to fire up the laptop. |

A 1 inch 48" x 120" sheet would only be $640.80 fom interstate plastics. *00 does seem a little steep for 3/4. Unless you're buying a massive sheet of course.

FF is extruded and the 1/4" is great for building small sumps and fuges but I would not recommend for anything under a lot of water pressure. Definitely go for cell cast when building a tank.
