I made mine. You can get sheets of 1/4" plexi at home depot for pretty cheap. You will need to buy some solvent cement like weld-on and an applicator. You can find it online or the local glass shop can order it for you. www.glasscages.com makes them too. They have good prices, but I ordered one from them and was not very impressed. The plexi they use is only 1/8" thick and they use a cheesy plastic frame that doesnt fit together very well. I am sure that they would use better materials if you asked but they would charge more and they might not be able to ship it easily

Mark Pepper has designed some great acrylic tanks he now manufactures in all his free time... There's a couple sizes pre-made, and he can make them to any size you want. He and I talked a lot during the planning of them, and they are really fantastic. www.understoryenterprises.com has some pictures of you can email him mark@understoryenterprises.com for more information. He's super busy right now with school work (finally graduating college this year), but he'll reply as soon as he can. It's really worth the wait.
Best,
Justin

I you have drawings of the tank you are looking for I will send you a price for the tank. Can be made of Acrylic or glass. However the glass does not ship well. Acrylic ships just fine.
