I've bought sheet from Delvies Plastics.  They use a mexican brand cell cast sheet (not plexiglass brand), but I couldn't tell the difference when working with it and it's cheaper then Regional.  Without much effort on my part the guy there sold me a sheet of 1/4" at their "wholesale" price ($80) which isn't too bad.

I think Laird's also carries the stuff.

What happened at Regional?

Regional cut the sheets 1-3/4" too long.  49-3/4" instead of 48".  I didn't measure it when I was there so I called and they said that the cast sheets come wider and they would recut them for me since I had 48" written down.  Well, I had made special arrangements to get them picked up and didn't have time to go back down there.  So I called them back to see if they would work something out with me and Eric, my salesman, wouldn't come to the phone so someone else acted like a prick and kept me on hold the 15 minutes then hung up on me.  So I called back and Eric still wouldn't take my call so I told the secretary what I thought of their company and hung up.  Up to this point, I have not any problems with them but trust is a like a branch, it takes a long time to grow but can snap in a second.

I bought 2 full sheets of 1/2" (12mm) cast, 1 piece of black 1/4 (for overflow), weld-on #40, applicator, cutting cost, and 2 sticks (72" each) 1/4x1/4 extruded rod for $462.  It was expensive but I have 1/2 a sheet still that I am going to use for the sump. 

Thanks guys!!

Hey Marcus,

Delvies has a nice website,   http://www.delviesplastics.com/

I found them doing a search for Novus products to polish my tank.

The guy that helped me out was real cool and he hooked me up with a product that was a lot cheaper than Novus that works just as good.

Kleenmaster Brillianize $15.00 a gal.

Read your saga about your tank... Bummer.

Later, Brian Hatch.
