Default Cheap glass for baffles?

Know anywhere to get cheap glass 3/16" or 1/4" so I can cut up some baffles for my sump?

When I was doing my old sump I was able to get decent prices glass from Crystal Glass. Most glass places will have float glass fairly cheap, especially if they aren’t polishing the edges.

I ended up getting a 33 gallon for 15 bucks off Craigslist. Most placed quoted about$70 which I thought was too much.

I used Acrylic glass from Home Depot when I built my sump it’s a bit of a pain to cut but otherwise it’s way more forgiving than glass and no where as easy to break as glass is
