Extruded acrylic?

[jschall]

Can I use extruded acrylic to build DIY nano tanks somewhere around 10x10x10 inches?

Probably. Not like it's all that expensive if it eventually breaks.

Yeah but 4.3 gallons of water can do a little damage.

I've spilled more than 4.3 gallons doing water changes.

Really ? How'd you manage that ?

 

[jschall]

I've spilled 20+ gallons. Not fun.

I can beat that Ive spilled closer to 15 gallons before by having my overflow clog.

Power went out, I unhooked the canister, the valve on the intake or outlet opened slightly. I didn't notice for about an hour. Tank was missing about 4-6" of water.

honestly can you use extruded? I don't want to spill 240 gallons.

No, you can't. Not on 240 gallons.
