Tips:
Assuming you are getting custom cut acrylics for sump application:
The custom cut size may not be exact nor are the measurements given being exact, it's best you have some coarse(60, 80,120) sanding/grinding material at hand and use weldon #16 to glue for filling the gaps. Make sure you tape the pcs if you do not have clamps.

For your convenience
We pick up some extra sand paper in case you don't have them handy

So far I only carry the no name brand for sump application.
For fish tank application, I generally use casted arcylics from GE(that includes plexi, lucite....). I can also order other better brand(cast or not) in whole sheet.

I have light blue colored ones at 1/8" same price

2/8, 4/8 is for some non English speaking ppl because some of them actually have 1/8" unit so it goes like 1fen(1/8"unit in their language), 2fen , 3fen, 4fen.....

NOTE: I have to confirm when GE opens tomorrow whether they have cast acrylics at this thickness. I know their Plexiglass brand at that thickness are extruded not cell cast.
