Laird Plastics for acrylic and 2" is more than sufficient for your tank. You could probably even get away with 1.5", but I think the jump is 1.25" to 2" if I remember correctly.
Thanks very much! Im still very hesitant about acrylic, but i may have no choice.

How heavy is a 2" sheet of that stuff? Also what are the dimentions of a sheet?

Edit: I just took a look at their web site looks like sheets can be as big as 124" X 75"
I have a program ill get on tomarrow to tell me the weight. ill post it tomarrow.

nice build and good luck. If it was mine i would stock two or three silver arowanas, or maybe some gar.

Over the weekend i saw a baby silver arowana about the size of my finger it was one of the cutest thing ive ever seen.



I can tell summer is comming in fast! Double checking my item lists for items i need to buy. Getting everything ready so its a fast build. A few more weeks and we start again!

why not do it "up and back" radiator style? All you would need to a boat load of 90 deg elbows
