Looking for Black Plexiglass

[BL1]

I'm looking to buy some black Plexiglass/acrylic sheets. I've found it for sale online but, I'd like to not pay for shipping. Does anyone know of a store that sells it?

I would check either Grainger, McMaster Carr, or a local glass place. They might be able to order you some. I know Grainger has pick up locations, not sure of McMaste Carr though.

LOL, what was I thinking! Ok, so I was asking about drilling my tank like 2 weeks ago well, I chickened out and didn't want to drill it. I also can't put an overflow onto it because it's flush against the wall. So, what I want to do is make a small container with holes drilled in it for flow and grow chaeto in it.
The reason I want black is because I plan on mounting it on the back wall (which is painted black also) and I'm hoping that it'll just disappear and you won't be able to tell it's there. Make sense and worthwhile, you think?

If you can't find black plexi, you may want to consider buying one of these and then modding it:

Thanks Biff, that's almost exactly what I had pictured in my mind
