You can just buy glass from your local glazier. Try to get it the same thickness as the walls of your sump. I wouldn't recommend using acrylic/plexiglass becuase silicone doesn't stick to them very well.
The first one I built i actually went and bought brand new glass from a hardware store.
After that little expensive mistake For the next few i searched on craigs list and found where people had remodled there homes and were giving away there old windows and or glass storm doors.

Window glass might be a little too thin in some cases. My personal preference is to get damaged tanks (which a lot of people will give to you for little or no money) and cut them up.
To cut glass you'll need a glass cutter, and a little bit of practice. Check out youtube. It's really not that hard.

yep glass cutter
It gets easier the thinner the glass is. IMO
the window glass i used was 1/8" and it works great and is super easy to get good clean cuts.
