Tanks look good. How about that garage? You have been busy cleaning that my friend. Last picture I seen of that garage well lol.

Well normally I would chop them on my table saw and then come back and cut to size on my router table... But this job I was pressed for time so I sent them to my buddy who has a cnc router in his garage and had him cut it all... Cost me a pretty penny but saved me a week of labor... It would have took me a week and he cut it all in 4 hours... Let's just say he made a grip "dr wages" haha.... I really need to get me one someday... You figure $100 a sheet to cut is great granted all these parts but when they cut 8 sheets in 4 hours your like sheesh what the heck!!!! Lol :tongue:

Looks amazing Lee. I'll have to go check it out once it's set up.

Thanks Matt, it should be a work of art.... Anyways all the tanks are built and gluing the last overflow now... Had to go grocery shopping so that killed my time to knock the sump out... All and all not a bad weekend haha... 6 tanks "36 ind. cubes" complete...

Hey Troy. Where do you get your acrylic sheets from?

Troylee · Jan 24, 2012

I buy them locally shipping is a killer... Look in the yellow pages under plastic suppliers or manufactures...

Troylee · Jan 25, 2012

Just a quick update all tanks are done 100% polished with overflows etc... Waiting on steel for the stand...:xd:

He gets them local due to high shipping rates (He said this one page back I think) Makes a lot of sense I had to order a sheet once, no one has opaque black near me. I hate it when it costs more to ship something than to purchase it.
