I just put together a frag tank and the stand. Next week I will be putting the doors on and hope getting the pump and lights for it too. Here are some pictures.

That is awesome, looks almost like my frag tank other then the placement of the return.  Did you make the stand?

If we are only talking about the tank. The acrylic cost for 24"X48" 3/8" $55 each and 24"X 24" 3/8" $30 each. The glue about $10. If you like I can put one together for $250 Its going be 48"X24"X12" frag tank

I cut the pieces for the overflow and the top piece too. I have a router that make the job easy. I have the hole saw too for the hole for the bulkhead.
