I'm lookin' to buy some plastic and was hopin' ya'all might be able to direct me to a supplier. So whatcha' building you ask...well let me tell ya'.
I want to build a canopy for my 90g and I'm looking for lengths of plastic,"L" shaped,ya' know the ones I mean ? For attaching to the inner sides of the canopy,allowing the canopy to "rest" on top of the rim of the tank. I've been to Industrial Plastics,(great people there!),but the material they stock is only about 3/4"-1" wide, maybe 1/8" thick. This would probably suffice but I'd be more comfortable with something a little "beefier". I've phoned around a bit but no success so I thought I'd come here for a little advice...Thanks in advance !
P.S. Wood material advice ? My 60g corner was purchased as a unit and the stand/canopy are MDF. What were those boneheads thinkin'? I'll be painting with texture spray so that "wood-grain thing" isn't important. I'm figurin' maybe 3/4" or 1",one side finished plywood ??? Twice as much as I need of course 'cause I like to get it right the second time...
