Cutting my acrylic sump? Best way/tool?

[glarior]

I want to reuse my 2'x2'x5ft acrylic sump for my new setup idea. I need to cut off about 2" all the way around the sump so I can have more clearance. What would be the best way to cut it? I have jig saw, sawzall, circular saw, cut off wheel and other tools. Placed the tank on its side and brace it then use a straight line to cut the few inches off.

Which tool/blade would be the best way to do it?

I have tried all 3 of these and I was most happy with using my skil saw but you have to go easy on starting and finishing thru. I was cutting 1/2"

What blade did you use? My acrylic is 1/4"

I've seen the guys in tanked use a circular saw on the site. A table saw would probably make a straiter cut.

That's what I will use. Thanks for the information.

I've cut acrylic with a circular saw... best option IMO.
