Im thinking around 2 ish. I teach class until noon. I would really love to build a sump. how much is a 4 x 8 sheet of quarter inch acrylic? or if you have a better idea please share it. maybe I would be better off buying a 40 gal long and put dividers in. Im not going to lie im not rich so cost is an issue. any suggestions on a better size or materials would help.

oh and where are we going to meet?????????

I really want to do mangroves but the 30 just dosent fit right in the stand for it . it is too tall and really hard to work on. I need something about 16 inches tall 16 inches wide and 4 feet long. Preferably clear. thanks for the thoughts
A 40 gallon Long would be the closest tank I could think of besides custom made. They are 48"L x 13"W x 16"H. You dont see them around much anymore however! I know someone who has one with a broken bottom glass but I think they just put some acrylic on bottom and popped some reptiles into it!

I am game for a saturday meeting on the 16th or even the next weekend the 23rd if many people have valentines weekend plans and can't attend. The owner of this building will let us use the vacant store front for our meeting or if small we can use the CPA meeting room.
