Where to get black Plexi (Acrylic) sheet?
Need a small (12x12~ish) sheet of Black Plexi/Acrylic. Anyone have any ideas where I can find one around here? Would rather get local than order from USPlastics.

I have a scrap piece sitting in my shop, will have to see how big it is. It came out of a 75 gal tank, was the box for a corner overflow. Not sure if it's quite 12" but can check tomorrow. If it's not I would check with ALFLA plastic on the I-65 service rd west

Well, it doesn't really need to be 12". I am planning to cut it up into 1" squares and use them for grow-out frag plugs, since they won't leach PO4 like most frag plugs, and are pretty easy to scrape Zoas and other corals off of.

why black if youre using it for frag plugs?

No real reason other than aesthetics. Black won't show the normal micro-algae growth that plugs get. Plus it makes the colors look better.Buddy08 wrote:why black if youre using it for frag plugs?

If you are not putting. Lot of pressure on them . I have some 1/8 black abs smooth on one side and textured on the other
