Acrylic Sheets(What to make out of them?)

[bsr2430]

Hey everyone, I came into a bunch of Acrylic sheets. Probably quarter inch thick. What can I make from them?
Any good ideals out there? Could easily make a spy glass to view my tank from above.
Anyone have any better ideas?

I’ve always wanted a box that sits in my sump for the inlets & socks.

Acclimation box and hangs on the side.

I used the sheets and some pvc to make platforms for a frag tank.

Drilled holes in the acrylic and covered the edges and pvc with Apoxy Sculpt to look more natural.

Now this is amazing!
What did you coat the acrylic with?

Well it really matters if you're building anything. You need to know if it is extruded sheet or cell cast sheet. You can tell just by looking through it. If it is ultra clear then it is cell cast, if it isn't then it's most likely extruded. If it is scratched to hell, good luck. lol

That’s what you meant! Haha
It’s Cell Cast. Still has the plastic on both sides.
probably 75 sheets.

Also, I clearly wouldn’t build a tank from it, that might end up bad. I was more thinking of frag racks or something insane that would be cool.

Brandon, why the heck do you have 75 sheets of acrylic?

The real question is why don’t you have 75 sheets?
