I purchased my 240 acrylic from a specialty marine pet store. We have a
few
of them around the city and I visited as many as I could to talk to the
owner/manager for pricing and info. Some of the shops I visited stocked
125s and 180s even. You can also order from online sources. A quick
search
for "acrylic tanks" can give you a few good hits. If you're aiming for
glass rather than acrylic, an online source may be better if fish
specialty
stores can't help.

Some people prefer acrylic over glass for larger tanks (myself included).
Just keep in mind that there are advantages and disadvantages to both.
Wiegh them out and decide what's best for your needs.

Can you give me a brief rundown of the different benefits from
glass/acrylic? Do acrylic tanks last as long as glass? My little 29 gallon
tank hasn't sprung a leak since I got it, more than ten years ago.
