Hey thanks, that answers a lot of my filter questions.

Hey Cweber,

I grew up in Okarche. Kinda cool to see some one from back home on the site.
I live in Dallas and occasionally make forays back to Okarche and Kingfisher to visit friends and family. If we can work it out, I could ferry some items from Dallas to you.

well thanks for the offer,but i think ive decided to make my aquarium. acrylic isnt as expensive as i thought. Thats cool that you know the area. i work for the phone company in kingfisher, have relatives in okarche.

as for building my aquarium, what do you use to bond the seams. the stuff i priced is about 1/8 thick is that enough or do i need bigger. the 1/4 inch is to big for there machine to cut, what do you cut it with? i just thought i would have it done so it was straight. any advice as to building it? thanks

I don't think 1/8 is thick enough. Someone else can speak more on it I'm sure, but the acrylic tanks I've seen are 1/4-1/2 at least.
