    your local lowe's or even a hometown hardware store should have glass mine does and this is middle of nowhere.

    I used the cheap 1/8" glass for my baffels in a 40 long tank works fine

    why waste money in going with the thicker glass when it provides absolutly no benifit

    I am using 1/8" for baffles and 1/4" on the walls for my fuge. To avoid live rock placement mishaps. :)

    Im pretty sure you can use 1/4 or even 1/8 for a baffle, 3/8 sounds a little extreme. imo. Luna
