Default Acrylic Shops?

Does anyone have any contact info for acrylic builders/manufactures in Calgary?

I'm looking at building some DIY containers for my ATO/Mixing station, but can't find the right thickness of acrylic locally.

I'm also open to other suggestions that don't look like a garbage bin and can fit in a 22x30 space. Needing 2 that will fit in there however.

Is there an Industrial Paints and Plastics there ? I know they sell the stuff and will also build things too.

I just looked up their site, closest one is Calgary. I'm going to give them a call today and see what they say!

Concept built us an all in one (2 sections) ATO and mixing station. It's got 2 pipes with gates ( don't know the exact plumbing term).that you open and close depending if you want fresh or salt water going into the tank. It was not super expensive, looks great, and works perfectly. But it's not acrylic. They also put it on a stand so it's off the ground and my son can store his salt pails etc below it.
