    Default DIY sump

    Where is a good place to pick up materials (plexiglass) to build a sump in NE SA or New Braunfels? Should I ask for some special fish freindly glue?

    Regal Plastics off of Rittiman....about a mile or so west of I-35 on the right hand side. And you'll want some Weld-on to glue the peices together, they sell it there (get the applicator bottle)

    Regal Plastics or Allied Plastics. They are both on Rittiman. Regal is closer the Fort Sam and Allied is on the east side of I-35. You can find them on yellowpages.com

    FWI I have also had a great experience dealing with Regal. Ask to check their scrap bin for some odd ball sized pieces of acrylic. They sell it for $1 a pound.

    Do you have experience with using acrylic? It's not too complicated, but unless you've done some research and have the right tools, it's probably easier to have someone build you one to your specs. The club favorite acrylic man is Hobogato (Ace) who I think lives on the north side of S.A. You might PM him to see what he would charge you.
