In order to work up to building a custom 75 gallon acrylic tank, I thought I should practice. So this weekend I built an 8" x 8" Acrylic tank for a friends betta. It came out great! The only difficulties I encountered was getting a clean edge on the cuts. I was using a tablesaw with a blade meant for wood, and it cut but it left rough edges. I smoothed these out somewhat with a scraping tool I got from the local plastic shop. The tool works but there must be a better, more precise way to do this.
oes anyone know of a better way to put a smooth, level, square edge on acrylic?
Anyway... the tank is holding water.... I added some gravel, ornaments, fake plants, bubblewand, and a betta.
Next, its on to the biotower and sump!
