Thanks everyone for the great comments!
Luckedout, I think I spent right around $100 for the 4x8 sheet of acrylic and have almost half of that left. As for the time, I am slow at things like that - I would say I probably spent around 20-30 or so hours start to finish. I will be much faster working with the acrylic the second time around. There is a learning curve for sure.
As for the goal for my 180, at this point the only thing I have decided is that it will be a reef tank. I don't want it to be a repeat of my 100. I am planning on attending the SLC Reef Fest and get ideas for aquascape, equipment etc... I would also love to hear suggestions. I will start a 180 build thread soon. I will be welcoming all the advice and suggestions I can get.
