    Where are the best locations or sites to order glass or acrylic to build a tank? I love the edgeless glass the RedSea tank has.

    I would check your local yellowpages for "Glass Plate & Window" or if you're an online junkie like myself, hit up yp.com and search for the same information locally. Then give those folks a call to see if they sell the glass panes, if that's the route you're taking. Once you find a local retailer who can sell the individual panes they can also help you out with the beveling, cutting, etc. as well and provide you a wealth of information (hopefully).

    Best of luck, but if you're going glass, prepare for a bit of sticker shock...

    Cheers!

    yes - glass is intricately tied to the petroleum industry.

    The more expensive oil gets . . . . .

    Last time I checked oil was not going down . . .
