Hello, Im building a 300 gallon aquarium. I'm looking for a place I can get some 3/4 cast sheets cut to size and thought I'd reach out to fellow DIY'ers who have a place they could recommend. Im in Michigan and wouldn't mind ordering outside the state is shipping was reasonable but I assume I'd save more buying it somewhere closer and picking it up myself.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.
 
Search for a Laird Plastics in your area. Ask them to quote for PMACs Arkema (it's a good quality, less expensive cast option).

If you're going to have the supplier cut to size, have them cut 1/4"-1/2" over on all dimensions and use a flush cut router to make the final trims after solvent. You'll want to overcut regardless for the sake of your solvent welds, but most sellers aren't going to cut to pinpoint precision measurements...
