Hello, Just wondering if anybody has, made a aquarium before out of acrylic or plexiglass....

Just wondering if anyone has a dxf file from which they used to construct the tank.

Hi Bais

What size are you look for how many gallons/litres is this for saltwater

[bais]

Probably around the 4ft size roughly 200 litres and no for freshwater tropical fish

Here is a Wikipedia thing about what is probably the biggest acrylic aquarium ever made;

If you have never worked with acrylic you are embarking on a very ambitious first project. My guess is that a 200 litre tank would need to be made of something like 1", maybe a bit thinner. It would be possible to solvent weld it together on all the joints but this is not a trivial task and needs plenty of experience.

i work with acrylic everyday, just not with plexiglass or pespex and nothing involved with filling it with water, so i understand the process involved
