But it's cold there.
I would freeze to death my blood is so thin.
Come on you know you want to make a tour of RS houses ending in FL.
Just think how much fun that would be.

I'm totally stoked with this thing!
What did you use to make the cuts with?
I purchased a 200tooth blade for my table saw. It said it was for plywood, plastic and thin materials but I'm not happy with the results. It was cheap...there you go.
Good going guys.
LOL about not being finished until you bleed on it.
Here is a link to SD Plastics They have the blades especially made for acrylic cutting they are priced between $65 and $268. Hope this helps.

Re: DIY Frag Tank!!

unfortunately, Booze, our minds are only limited by our wallets. lol

Actually, I have a design or two I want to do as far as acrylic tank and stand building go. I know Billys just wants to get the fish room perfect right now. But, who knows, we may tackle some other things.
