Where's all the glass/acrylic!?

I'm in the brainstorming phase of building a 750 gallon aquarium for my two iridescent sharks.
I am still learning how to calculate height, length, depth, and weight, but my latest challenge so far is finding the materials I plan to work with!
I've checked with local hardware stores for glass and acrylic and they all have nothing that I need.

Where do you guys find your materials?

I live in a rural area, and all of our glass shops are strictly for car windshields or storm doors (which have remarkably thin glass, actually...)

We also don't have any acrylic suppliers. Any recommendations for online sources?

haha Tennessee is the easiest place to get glass. I had to get my glass shipped from Tenessee.

Did you purchase a full aquarium, or was it just the glass material that was shipped? I'm not capable of spending the extra money for a full, custom-made 750 gallon tank, which is why I'm building it (hopefully for a significantly lesser price.)

Holy crap! I can't believe I missed it! Heck, I even e-mailed them asking if they could sell just acrylic. Thank you!

One more thing, I've read here on these forums and online that aquariums need "cell cast" acrylic. I've seen "cell cast plexiglass" in a single description... Are cell cast and plexiglass the same thing?
