    I would like to know where I get glass for cheap price and free glass cutting as well. I went to Lowe's at philips highway and Homedepot at Southside blvd, they both said NO to cut glass.

    I need to make baffles for refugium. any pointers will be greatly appreciated !!

    When I lived in Jax I never had glass cut but if you need to find a place just google "jacksonville fl glass" call those numbers. 90% of them are going to be glass places. I have a place here I get roughly 12''X12''X1/8" pieces cut and sanded for like $12

    try a local hardware store, the one here sells it and cuts for free. the glass is even cheaper than at a glass shop in town.

    Thanks.Homedepot has exactly closer to dimensions I need.
    I need 11 3/4 * 10 and they have 12 * 10 for 2$. let me call some local glass shops and check prices. but wondering why both lowes and homedepot stopped cutting glass, is that only my local homedepot don't do it or they stopped across nation?
