They have all kind of acrylic there. thin stuff same price as lowe and depot but good stuff is ok price.

if you can get from ebay for cheap and not need of urgent, the ebay is way to go.

I need stuff fast so I shop local

Just keep in mind- if the sump that I'm assuming youre using the baffles in is glass- acrylic absorbs at a different rate than glass and will expand further and in time can put enough pressure on the tank to crack it- you can go to a glass shop and get glass baffles cut for just as cheap if not a little cheaper than thicker acrylic, all you need is 1/8th inch glass for baffles. I did my sumps baffles in glass 4 panels cut and the sharp edges taken down for $16 here on Long Island

Jimmy,
Never even gave that a thought to be honest, I always went with the acrylic and left some expansion room and used flexible fish tank silicone...ill have to look into the priceng on that down here by me..

Is cheap mike I dont mean to say it will definately happen but it could so for the same if not less or even a few bucks more- no worries? no contest sign me up for glass panels-

I def agree, just never crossed my mind abt the expansion rates
