Either one Joshua posted will work. Usually Allied is a little cheaper.

I assume you want extruded; if so, get cyro FF, which either place should have. As a few maast members who've been around for awhile know, I'm not a fan of using extruded acrylic for building anything aquarium related, so I'd suggest you go for cast, either cyro GP or spartech polycast. It's alot more money, but it's much stronger stuff. I think it's allied that stocks spartech, but I can't honestly remember.

Stay away from the no-name asian made stuff or you might have real problems with the joints.
