Thanks

I checked on Dex under plastic in Ogden and there were several listings. Give that a try, you might find something closer.

Profesional Plastics in Kaysville. I have some 3" or 3.5" extruded acrylic tubing left over from a project. When you come over for the mushrooms you can take a look and see if you would be interested in buying some of it. The outside diameter is the same as 3" pvc. ------------- Jared Caulley West Haven, UT 16g Bowfront, mostly LPS 125g in progress |

| I have used the Regional supply extruded acrylic and it crazed horribly when glued! That Kalk reactor ended up an expensive piece of garbage. I ordered some cast from McMaster carr http://www.mcmaster.com - www.mcmaster.com and it worked great on the replacement. I also bought 1ft of 5 1/4" od 1/8" wall and will be using less than 1/2 of that. How much do you need? |
