Re: Cut your own

 >>Rather than the hardware store, another place to try and get glass cut 
is a framing shop.

At a local pet store in my neighborhood they actually sell glass tank 
covers for 2.5g aquariums(Pen Plax or All Glass brand ~11.5"x5.5").  They 
have the dividing pices of glass that fit through the two sets of notches 
in the top and screen covers too.  I dont remember the exact cost but they 
are around:  glass covers are $2-3, screens are ~$5 and dividing sheets are 
~$2 for a set of two.  I dont remember if the glass covers have handles or 
not but I think they do.  A little more expensive than cutting your own but 
cheaper than if you went to a local glass glass shop and paid for them to 
smooth the edges($0.10 a foot around here).  They might have 5g covers 
two.  If anyone wants to know the place its Dolphin Pet Village on Camden(I 
think) in Saratoga, Santa Clara or San Jose (I just know how to get there) 
in the Bay Area.  They also have a web site but that only has the address 
on it right now.  They dont stock very many of them either only a few of each.
