acrylic tank

14-05-2012, 10:19 PM

hi guys, anyone know where i can make acrylic of size 2ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft?

I'm asking on behalf of a fren who took over the 2 hammies which i have previously put up for adoption. since for hammies, dun need to be very thin nor able to withstand pressure.

Custom made acrylic tank doesnt come cheap and it also depends on the thickness as well, like 3mm to 8mm for that specific size. you can try advertising company that sell or produce acrylic .
