Prices for glass/acrylic for plywood tanks

[ryeguy28]

hey i was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for a glass front for a plywood tank im thinking about building
im trying to get all the prices rounded up so i can get a idea on how much the setup will cost

im thinking about building a 5'x2'x2' tank for around 150gal

no ideas on where to buy acrylic/glass for a fish tank ?

Not much point in plywood 150? A 150 will probably cost less?

i have a contractors discount and military discount at lowes ... automatic 30% off of everything butt the pond liner and glass

i might go bigger i just am trying to gauge things out

also what type of thickness do i need ?

You'd get away with 10mm glass on a 150 if I was going plywood build I would go 300+

My glass was 94"x24"x0.5" and cost me $150. I just started calling around to different glass shops ended up getting through an auto glass shop.

Could always look for a cracked tank with a 5x2' or 6x2' window and use that?
