Where to get tinted glass?

[GoldStripe]

Anyone know where I can get some black tinted glass locally? I've called around and no one seems to have it. I know it exists because I've seen it in pics here. I'm building a Calfo style overflow and would much rather have tinted glass then clear. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Update on the tank. I shimmed the stand yesterday and was able to get it perfectly level front to back and side to side. Today the tank and stand will come back out of the house. I will be drilling the tank very soon.

Here's a picture that is similar to what I'm trying to do except mine will span the entire back wall of the tank.

Dan I have a couple glass companies that do work for us here at work, if I catch one of them I'll ask if they know where to find the tinted glass.
By the way when I picked up my 150 a little over a year ago from Robs he had ordered two of them I got one and someone else got the other. Just curious, was the other one yours?
I love the tank but when your digging for something at the bottom, 30 inches gets old fast. LOL
Anyway if I catch one of the glass guys I'll shout back at ya.

GoldStripe, you can buy a type of paint that tints glass. You just spray it on. Here is a web page that sells it for example

Dan I caught one of the guys here and he said he used to work for Lee&cates and their suppose to have black tinted glass.
Should be the one over here off of San Juan behind Watchovia
bank.

Thanks Lageo04. I'll give them a call. The one in Mandarin said they only had the grey stuff. Like Rob said, I was the other one who bought a 150. Taking my time is an understatement!!

Lageo04, any other street that it could be besides San Juan? There aren't any Lee and Cates exactly on San Juan.

Nevermind, I found it. It's actually on Lexington Ave. Thanks again

 

[Lageo04]

Sorry about that, I couldn't think of the side street it was on.
Did they have what you needed?

I just called them and they have to get back to me. Only one guy there right now working on a car. After that, she said that he will go look and call me back.
