i suck at math..

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
right you reckon you could draw out your sump plans? I still dont think those two sheets would be able to be cut into 5 smaller piecess. You need two for the sides to from the front and back and one on the bottom
 
The maximum gallonage per acrylic surface area is in a cube. Since the top will be open, it will be a modified cube of dimensions bxbxh. Whether the dimensions can be cut from those pieces and what can fit into the opening of the doors is a different question all together. Without knowing the access dimensions and clearance dimensions, determining random sump sizes is pointless. Anyway, with the base dimensions are 26.58"x26.58" and the height is 13.29". The maximum volume is 39.55g.

Cut out sheets of paper in the following dimmensions and lay them out on the sheets of acrylic to see if they will make up a tank.

Bottom 26.58"x26.58"
four sides 26.58"x13.29"
 
Who da king of math

Not me!
If you're done patting yourself on the back for no good reason, how does this help answer his question? It doesn't.

Milk, you're looking at something about 27x27x9ish.
 
That's 27.6 gallons. That is just under 70% of the maximum volume. Your math failed you. Besides, you missed the point entirely. Matt is looking for 70 gallons without buying another sheet of acrylic but the max is under 40. (If you want to impress me, tell me how I did it.)

Actually you missed the point. He's asking what's the largest tank he can make out of the 2 pieces he has left. He's not trying to make one that is 70gals. out of those pieces. Go back and read the posts and try and understand them this time.
And (unlike you) I'm not trying to impress anyone, just trying to answer his question, which you failed to accomplish.
 
umm plumber i think you missed Chompers point. He has given the maximum amount of area for those two sheets of acrylic that milk has. According to your layout its 27.6 gallons and the one chomper stated is just under 40.

Understood, but you can't make a tank that size out of the pieces Milk has.
