| Re: DIY skimmer box
The problem with non cell cast acrylics is the absorption of water. Stuff like plexiglass will absorb water. It can also release toxins into the water like phosphates.
Cast acrylic is more dense. harder. You guys should read up on it more. I was looking for a cheaper way out of building my skimmer and found a ton of reasons in Google why i should only use cell cast.
