Cheapest place to buy lids?

[rallysman]

I'm looking for glass lids for a bunch of different tanks. Where is the cheapest place to get them?
Is it less expensive to make them from hardware store Plexiglass?

well i just made a lid for my 29 gallon tank with a piece of plexi i found. i can't remember what the plexi costed like 2 years ago when my brother needed that piece, but i'm beting it isn't too much. still going with pre-made ones is probably the best because really mine doesn't look all the great.....but it was free and it serves it's purpose....not to mention it opens up my options on lighting (goodbye <1wpg, hellow 3 wpg)

Order them from the store you work at, or let me know what you need!

Their prices are too damn high even at cost.

I need lids for:
37 hex
46 bow
90 bow
90 surfline x 2
110 tall
125


I was thinking about just cutting my own from acrylic

Will definitely be cheaper than glass at cost.

I made lids for my 90gal out of plexiglass from the hardware store cost me about 20 bucks including handles. Then bought lids for my 45 it cost me about 20 bucks. 6 on 1 hand 1/2 dozen on the other.

Could yo look into a window place?

i got mine from a local window/glass place here in the OC. they were pretty cheap and cut everything while i waited. i'd suggest finding someone local.
