Thanks

Clear for life=arm and a leg.

They also bow out like mad. AAT (advance aqua tanks) makes Clear for life. They do custom work and can build a tank to your specifications. It does cost quite a bit more but the quality is far superior.

Any reasons why you don't want to go with glass?

Did you see the 24x24x20 Lee-Mar for sale in the Bay area?

Too bad it is in Bay area. Any local store do custome jobs for acrylic cube like that and have good deal?

AAT makes the clear-for-life tanks as mentioned above. they can custom make a tank to your specs for you. when i buy a house (assumng my reef doesn't suck me dry) i am going to see if AAT can make me a tank that is 48"x36"30" woohoo!

i was unaware that clear-for-life's bow. i have a custom clear-for-life 65 cube (i got it used) and it doesn't bow in the slightest, maybe its because the acrylic is a tad over 1/2" thick. :) the acrylic on my tank is super hard too. i drilled a few holes and when i dropped the acrylic that i just cut out, it sounded like glass hitting the floor, not plastic. simply amazing.

although clear-for-life's are more expensive than the average acrylic tank they are built like a tank and will last a long long time. my previous tank was a tru-vu, nice tank but the acrylic was so damn soft.

Come now Emperator,
Cast acrylic is usually cast acrylic.

You were just fortunate to have a 1/2" thick acrylic because the TRU-VU I used to have used only 3/8" acrylic for a 120 gallon. Boy did it bow.

Clear for life is more expensive because they buy out every competitor out there. :D

dat, not necessarily, i believe that there are different grades and brands of acrylic. i can seriously say that the acrylic used to make my clear-for-life 65g cube is much harder than the acrylic used on my tru-vu (boy did that tank bow).

Hey maybe you got an acrylic tank that is made of extruded acrylic. They do get hard and brittle like some of sumps I have too.
:D
