Not to hijack the thread but since people in NC are posting here. Does anybody know the closest acrylic dealer or builder to Raleigh? All the stores in Raleigh sell glass. I am looking for a 75 acrylic tank. Thanks.

virex27th,

Piedmont Plastics in Greensboro sells acrylic and weld on products.

Phone: 336-218-0128

[brandonberry]

Everyone that I've talked with gets theirs from Piedmont Plastics. Their website is: http://www.piedmontplastics.com/

[brandonberry]

Well EQCM2B,

I guess you beat me to it. LOL

[brandonberry]

According to their website, they do have a Raleigh location. I'm not sure if you can get what you are looking for their, but it wouldn't hurt to call.

[virex27th]

Yeah I knew about Piedmont but I dont want to build it. I meant to say acrylic aquarium dealer not acrylic dealer, sorry. I have never worked with acrylic and I dont want to mess up and ruin a whole acrylic sheet. I would rather pay someone to build it but the closest vendor I found so far is in Alanta and thats not to bad distance but they want $490 for a 75gal. I think that is somewhat overpriced. I have got other quotes in the low 300's.

[aquaholic33]

for the life of me I can't remember the company's name for sure.......but there is a custom acrylic company in Charlotte that builds custom stuff. Maybe one of the NC people will chime back in and know who I am talking about. I am thinking it is new wave acrylics but not sure. I also don't know for sure if they build aquariums but I at least remember seeing them build filters/sumps.
