call acrylic places around your area that sell acrylic sheets. When you call ask to speak with the acrylic cutters or workers and ask if somone there is up for a side job. Thats how i got this guy thats been working with acrylic for 30 years and saved me 6,000 dollars on my 500 gallon tank im getting built right now.
thats a good idea. what size did you order and what are you doing for canopy and stand? i want a show tank so i dont want any DIY stuff. Its a wedding present from my folks so i want to go all out. But that is a great idea
i think glasscages is going to be the cheapest for what your looking for. I bought a used 240 long gallon glasscages tank off of craigslist for 250 and i LOVE it!
EBAY!!! i got my 6ft long tank on ebay (full setup) for only 177bucks and i only had to wait 3 weeks till a person was selling one!!!! u can find people who are close by too!

problem with this is, everyone is up for a side job for money these days. Just because someone has worked with acrylic for years, does not mean their capable of building a tank thats going to hold so much water. And the way your going to find out that the guy couldent do it right, is most likely going to be costly on your end. This is why theres people that specialize in tank building, and they dont just come out of any old glass and acrylic shop.
When building a container for so much water, that has the potential to ruin your entire house, its not a wise idea to cut corners and not use someone that specializes in tanks. Otherwise, several hundred gallons of water on your floor, and the replacement of flooring and other things, will quickly add up to well over what you saved on the tank.
