Unusually go to ace hardware for glass. HD sells acrylic sheets , not to thick though

The silicone and glass may run 30 -40 bucks or so. Depending how many baffles you go with

Find a local glass shop. Give them the dimension and have them finish the edge. I had fine the same and was charged $5 to $11 per baffle depending on the size.

yea i know i use silicone anyway and i am aware that it will swell over time so i cut them alittle shorter in hopes that i will expand no not crack the tank i have a 20l now that is a DIY sump with acrylic and got suff from a arts and craft store and it was a mission to cut so i figured i would find a place that will do it all for me i got some info from some people who told me some spots thanks for any and all info
