How much would you pay for a used acrylic 55

[jhampton_wsu]

I just started looking for a used 55 gallon acrylic tank (for a sump)and I'm curious what a good price will be if I'm patient. How much is too much. I'd hate to pass this one up and then realize it was the best deal.

about a dollar- 1.50 a gallon if it's not HAMMERED on

Thanks for the quick response...now to break the news to the guy who's selling it.

So I found a used 65 gallon acrylic but it has a single overflow. I could pull out the overflow box. Would it be possible to glue a piece of acrylic over the drilled holes in the bottom of the tank or would it leak?

dang where u finding these i've been looking all week for a acrylic tank. lol
ive seen it done. if it has a bulkhead u can cut some pvc and put a stopper on it as well.

Make the piece bigger then the hole and use weld on 3 to glue it together then it will became one. It won't leak it you do it right.

I could teach you how to do simple acrylic work. I cant do fancy skimmers but can definately take care of a project like that.
