Default Acrylic manufacturer

Does anyone know a affordable manufacturer for acrylic tanks? I'm looking for a sump measuring something around the lines of:

18"l * 18"w * 20" h

Anyone have any ideas whats a good and affordable company to deal with somewhere in Vancouver/Burnaby/North Shore area?

Thanks,

I'm not sure if they do tanks but check with associated plastics. They do awesome work.

I won't say they are especially affordable, but Interior Plastics and Paints has made some sumps for me before.

Well I just got a quote from Peregrine for 591 for a 18 by 17 by 24 with one divider... Basically I want to make a fuge with a portion of the tank for rodi water and $591 b4 taxes seems steep.

Honestly I wouldn't bother with getting it out of acrylic as it looks like its going to run you a crazy amount of money. Way cheaper to get a glass one made. Even if it needs to be shipped

Heck, build your own tank! Get the acrylic cut to size and assemble yourself. Intimidating but not as hard as you think.
