GE PolyMerShapes now know as Sabic. They will per cut all your pieces if you call and give them the dimensions you require.

When I was looking for acrylic I figured out what I needed and called around for a price qoute. Sabic was the best price and they did not charge me to cut my pieces to size Check them all out for a quote, prices change sometimes depending on there suppliers from what I was told by Sabic.

Bumping this thread cause I was wondering what the best type of acrylic is to use for tanks. I know to use cell cast, but I've heard some brands are better than others.
