I have an empty 30 gal tank that I want to turn into a sump. Where is somewhere I can buy glass for the baffles?

I don't know about SLC, but GlassMasters in Layton is beyond awesome.  They stayed late for us, got us the baffles the same day, custom fit them actually inside the tank to make sure they fit (turns out the tank wasn't completely squared-off), and then they sanded the edges so we wouldn't cut ourselves.
 
Some Ace Hardware stores do it, but not all.  Call ahead.  You usually have to just give dimensions...and hope they fit.

Any Ideas on what glass masters would charge?

They cut 6 panels for our 40g of 1/8" glass, fit them into the tank, and sanded them...after hours...for $20 out the door. Of course, we still had to silicone them in, but we thought the service was outstanding.
