second that!! i am intersted as well, i know tap plastics is pretty cheap. can you use regular acrylic???

i recently had a 450g destroy my home from improper construction.be careful what you buy for acrylic as its not all made for aquariums or pressure rated.mine was cell cast but still broke.apparently the brand the manufactuer used is well known for not bonding well together (my seams failed)so be careful what you purchase..cheapest is not always best!
 
450 gallons............I would have ***** my pants. I dont know if was your pics or not, but someone showed their house after their tank busted.
