As some of you might know, I have a knack for getting my hands on free swag...

Well, I thought I might spread it around a bit.

This stuff is 1/4" and 3/16", so It's not a good idea to build a tank out of it.
It's more for DIY projects. Some of you know what I'm talkin about.

I have approximately 600 sq.ft. of fresh acrylic if anyone wants to have a bit.
I'm just letting y'all know, if you have a DIY project and you need a couple pieces, you can hit me up.
This is not a, "first pm gets all my acrylic" thread. So dont expect me to just hand it all over to you. I need it too. I'm just letting y'all know if you need some, give me a shout on this thread of what you're doing and I can hook you up.
I had to drive a bit for this, then jump in a dumpster filled with trash to get this stupid acrylic. My back is freakin' killin' me...

Champagne of beers...

It was the closest thing to me for size reference.
 
Thanks vaine, allways sweating my Camshaft sugar lumps....


Personally, I get excited looking at all this acrylic.
I might make a few overflow boxes, maybe a closed loop algea scrubber,
or a sump or two. The possibilities are endless. I'm pumped..
 
thats what i was thinking too. my dream was to make a 300g acrylic myself. reserched the hell outta it and was going to make the over flow boxes myself. then i found out how much the acrylic was. but i found an ebay store that had pre cut ones pretty cheap. http://stores.shop.ebay.com/POP-DISPLAYS__W0QQ_armrsZ1QQ_fsubZ8754330 it sounded like a good deal to me. but it looks like he dont have the bigger sized ones he had when i was looking.

edit... sorry i wanted to make a 6'x3'x3'. that was my dream tank... have 300 on my mind for some reason lol.

That's not bad. Too bad he doesn't have bigger sheets. The acrylic place by me, where I get small pieces of acrylic for free (not where I got these new ones), their acrylic is far more expensive then that.
