That's actually the place I already tried that was double the price.

Haha nice. I go to Adams store all of the time, well his retail store for fish and corals. Never got a tank built by him. He's usually pretty good I hear. I actually asked one of his employees last week if they were making the acrylic for your tank. They obviously didn't know. I guess they won't be now lol

I'd love to go through them I've seen some of his work and it is really nice. Acrylic is an oil based product so maybe oil prices could drop soon who knows. Maybe he'll still be the cheapest.

Water testing the sump so far so good and I finally herd back with a bit of a lower price. I'll be placing the order for the acrylic tomorrow so hopefully it'll at my shop Friday or Monday and I can start assembly.

Can’t wait to see how this comes together.

I'm hoping soon if I get it by this weekend I can hopefully start assembly. If not the following weekend. Only problem is I need to take a big window out to get the tank and stand in the house so it should be an interesting next few weeks after I get it assembled.

Just received an update from the acrylic manufacturer. He said it'll be shipping this week. So after it's ships he said 3 to 5 days for shipping but I'm fairly close so I'm hoping on 3 days.

Well it's just my luck on this build. My acrylic shipped Monday the shipping company calls me there on thier way. I unload the crate and the back side is busted out and 2 pieces are missing. So right away I email the company. But the next day after figuring out what ones are missing there is also 2 wrong pieces so I emailed him again. This build is fighting me till the end

Wieloch89 · Mar 15, 2018

Oh boy. Not a great way to start the acrylic work! It’ll all be worth it. Keep pushing.
