brandolando4 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hey everybody, im gonna start my sump this weekend, and i was curious as to where would be cheaper and or better to get class cut. Home depot or a glass store? and i couldnt figure this out but what thickness will i need for the glass to be cut? it is a 1o gallon sump! Link to comment
C4rN4gE Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Got phone? Home Depot only had the 1/8" glass when I was there. Are you making the whole sump? Or just the baffles? 1/8 should be fine for the baffles for a 10 gallon. Link to comment
Coastie Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 My Home Depot didn't cut glass I had to go to Lowes. Link to comment
CollegeNano Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The glass at Home Depot, here, is actually 3/32" thick, so not even 1/8"! I did build a 5 gallon tank with it for my girlfriend though and it's held up for about 2 years now. I think it would be fine for baffles. Like Coastie said, my HD does not cut so go to Lowes!

gee Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 sorry, my lfs told me to not go to lowes so i was confused thankyou You should try to cut it yourself, I have been doing it for 15 years. This is the place i work at in Canada, btw, Starphire glass is 17$ CAD a square feet , regular glass (Clear Float) is 6$/square feet, i can do my own drilling, cutting, mittering, grinding, tempering.... and i have a walmart tank.... LOL I am director of the cutting departement, if anyone in Canada (Montreal) needs glass, PM me here is a link to some of our product. http://www.chronoglass.com/ http://www.barazin.com/e01_menu.html http://www.vitre-art.com/en/pages/home.html Link to comment
