Hi Guys,
I'm new here. I 'm interested in building my own acrylic tank. Looking at 48in x 24in x 18in. From what I have read on many threads to use cell cast acrylic with a min thickness of 1/2in. I understand why to use 1/2 for the sides but can I use something like 1/4 for the top and bottom plate of the tank? the cell cast is so expensive.
Thanks for any help or ideas,
Pat
