Ever get this priced out? I'm curious about building some acrylic water storage tanks for my saltwater tank

how much is too expensive?

I'd love to do glass but my use case is a little unique. I need to store water for water changes but don't have a spot for it in the house i'm renting that's anywhere near the tank. So i plan to get an outdoor storage box and build water tanks to go inside it. has a very high "wife acceptance factor" too. Small little hole in the wall for tubing and i'm good to go - can even do auto water changes.

And a 1' cube for RM100 sounds like a bargain to me compared to the cost in the states

Yeah there are different types of acrylic - cell cast and extruded. You only want to use cell cast for water vessels.

I ended up finding a sign shop to make the tanks for me. worked out fine and I was happy with what I paid. The price to have it assembled was not much higher than the cost to just buy the cut pieces. I just had them assemble it and water test it for me.

oh, and RM100 for a cube that small doesn't seem realistic to me. I got about 5 or 6 different quotes, and while my vessels were a lot larger than 1 foot, RM100 was not near what I paid.

Acrifix, I think. I bought some from them and I'm pretty sure that's what they built it with.

They hold water great. Very happy with the purchase.
