Recommend a glass shop in South Jersey?

[sur4die]

I'm putting together a new 120G to replace my current 55G setup. I'm going to be using the beananimal tripple redundant fail-safe design in conjunction with a toothless coast to coast weir.

So I need to find a glass shop to cut a few pieces for me to make the overflow box. Does anyone have any experience with a good shop in the Cherry Hill area?
What should I expect to pay for 2 47"x5" pieces of 1/4" glass?

I was researching this a couple years ago to replace a cracked bottom panel in a 150g tank.

It was very difficult to find anyone that even carried that size/thickness around here.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the prices I did get quoted, but I do remember that it was so high that it was almost cheaper for me to just buy a whole (used) entire setup... which I did.

Best thing I can recommend is Glass Cages. They carry just about any size/thickness you would need. 1/4" is $3/sf and Low-Iron 1/4" is $10/sf, plus shipping.

Assuming they would count the 2 x 5" wide pieces as 1 foot wide... you could be looking anywhere between $12 and $40 plus shipping. It couldn't hurt to email them for a price quote.

However, before buying from there, I think I remember that Sid (codfather) had a local glass shop that he was getting good prices from. You might want to contact him if he doesn't reply here first.

I used Methvins Glass in Eastampton to get doors cut for my lizards enclosure. They did a great job and the price was good. You could call them and see if they can hook you up. 609 267-3331. They're not far from Cherry Hill.

I knew of glasscages, but i did not know that their custom panes were that cheap. I've sent them an email. I'll probably call a couple local guys just for S&Gs too.

I already have the tank, but thanks for the heads up.

I found a company right around the corner from my house that quoted me the same price without shipping as glasscages with shipping. Plus the guy said they will probably be ready by the end of the day or possibly the next. Can't beat that.

The company is glass guys and they are in Glendora. http://www.glassguysnj.com/
