if you've got a glass cuter, a yard stick and a tube of silicone, working with glass is much easier than acrylic. I think the 3 combined would be cheaper than a saw blade.

and if you didn't notice, marc's sumps are 100% acrylic, and he builds loads of them, so he's a champ at working with the stuff.

a tip if you go the glass route: ask them to sand down two corners of each piece of glass that touches the bottom of the tank -- It will make for an easier fit against the bead of silicone that's already there.

I use "Silicone I Kitchen and Bath" by GE found at most hardware stores.
