ok, remember me. lol.. i know its been forever, i kinda got side tracked. anyways im back on point, the tank hasnt changed a bit. I want to order the front window today or tomarrow but i have changed my mind. i will be using acrylic not glass. so how thick do i need to go? i was thinking 1/2 would still be good but im not sure?
do i need extruded or cast?(cell or poly) i didnt know there were so many types of acrylic.
I will be using acrylic because i will be able to install it myself, were with glass, i would not be able to..

Isnt that a stainless sump?? Anyway the tank looks awsome.. Ihope to see more update soon

 

[mosthated]

its galvanized. not stainless. i wish it was though lol.

will 1/2" thick cell cast be good for my window?

93" X 36" I wouldn't think 1/2" would be good for that at all.

My Tenecor 300 gallon tank which is 96" x 30" is made of 3/4" acrylic and not even a slight bow in it.
