source for acrylic ??

[Reedman]

I am looking to build an overflow for my tank and was wondering if anyone knows of a good source (either in the Seattle area or online) to get some black acrylic that would work. All I want to do is build a simple box to fit inside the end of my aquarium and cut teeth into the top.

Thanks in advance,

I need some acrylic too. My overflow boxes aren't notched so I have to adapt the notched lids on top. Wher I live, I found acrylic in the same places where they sell glass. It maybe the same there in the US. Acrylic tubing is a different story here...

they make overflows, and if you really want to build it yourself, they may also sell the acrylc sheeting too.

Thanks for the inputs everyone. I will be on the hunt soon for "scrap" to put this thing together. I'm hoping to keep the cost down as it will be experimental (read...I don't want to put a whole lot of money into a project I may end up using to hold my spare PVC fittings if it doesn't work out).

Ahhh. That's even better. Sounds like a trip after work is in order.
