After being inspired by the last PMAS meeting I've decided to build my own frag/growout tank. Im wondering if anyone knows of a glass shop that can cut good square pieces. I've had glass cut by several places that was lacking in its accuracy. This wasn't a big deal for baffles and my overflow but could be more problematic with a tank. Im confident i could cut the glass, just not confident it would be square. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Where to get glass?

If you just order glass to a size it's not going to be exact unless you specify you need it to a specific tolerance. Any reputable glass company can cut glass within a +\- 1/16 square tolerance but there will be a significant cost difference as chance of scrap goes up drastically.
As a side note depending on your size that you want to build I was just reading on a different forum about the new rage is taking a 40 breeder that you can get at buck a gallon sale and cutting it apart and chopping the glass down to 10" and reassemble. Then use the pieces cut off for the euro brace along the top or reuse the trim pieces.
