Rona sells extruded in more thicknesses than HD. Most retail sigh manufacturers use acrylic and will also typically cut and sell you want you need.


Here's a layout of an overflow I've made before, of course sizes vary and I believe this is kind of as small as you want to go. You can make the siphon tubes from clear PVC and regular elbows or buy acrylic ones from an online store. Be sure to leave space for some kind of standpipe, I usually go with an HGB style.
