Based only on what I've read, certain brands have better strength. I can't say whether that's actually true mind you.
Second paragraph: http://www.associatedplastics.com/acrylic.php I've always read good things about Acrylite GP. Edit: A ton of my reading was regarding Envision Acrylics. I was close to ordering a tank from James a really long time ago. http://www.envisionacrylics.com/aquariums.html This guy seemed to know the material VERY well. And he always used GP.

Yeah I want 3/4 even just for a look but the price increased 40% from 1/2 to 3/4!
Is 3/4 acrylic really that much more expensive than 1/2? |

Prices
It is quiet a bit of jump in price when going from 1/2 to 3/4!
Where are you getting your quotes from? I've dealt with plastic works in surrey on 86 ave and they have the best prices I've seen by far! One of the employees (Peter) actually used to make aquariums so he's got quiet knowledgable about aquariums |

I got my 325g made by envision acrylics. Highly recommend. I was also sick of lifting large glass tanks. This one was easy to lift with 2 people.

And this is Plasticworks in Surrey? I emailed and they said they do not build aquariums.

I mentioned there name cuz they are the cheapest I found material wise. I only buy acrylic and cut it to size at their shop and bring it back home and glue it my self. |
