I'm looking to build a working "but small" model of my pelagic fish aquarium design. If anyone knows of a source of salvage cast acrylic tubing, I am looking for three pieces 24 or more inches long and at least 24" in diameter. 1/4 inch would be preferred but I can probably use as thin as 1/8. Thicker is not a problem, scratched, foggy, can be polished out with a little elbow grease and power tools both of which i have. Give me a heads up if you know of some, I have been looking locally and I can't find any so far. New the stuff is just astronomical in cost, at least to me.

I once had a Saeng motorcycle windshield made of polycarbonate, great stuff but generally too easily scratched for aquarium use. Lexan will break, I hit a car broadside and the windshield shattered like thousands of tiny plastic sparkles, still remember it clearly to this day watching the windshield turn inside out and exploding... Acrylic is commonly used in aquariums now days due to it's light weight and resistance to breaking compared to glass.
