Google Glass & Mirror shops in Dallas. They will be able to sell you full sheets of whatever thickness you need or cut to size, if you go with cut to size seaming edges verses polishing edges will save you money. You wont be able to buy from a glass distributor like Dallas Flat Glass most likely, but you could try. They are the type of distributors that supply the Glass and Mirror shops.

Don’t go with cheap but rather the best especially with a large volume tank.
You will want thick glass also

I don't think he means cheap glass.

He just wants to buy it for cheap aka not be r@ped.

Shops around NY have very widely-ranging prices. Find many in your area and get multiple quotes. Have all the glass cut to size with edges polished.

I think he means inexpensive glass as opposed to cheap. Cheap meaning you get what you pay for. I agree with the Previous posts. Call around to multiple glass shops and get quotes. You might be surprised by how much prices vary.
