Used Glass
You guys should see what Feng (Red Sand) has been doing with used glass. He's making his 500G tank (on the left when you enter the store) thinner (front to back) and making a 10' frag tank with the leftover glass.
Here's two very interesting eBay auctions for some lucky NJ reefer:

They're in the strip mall by the Home Depot. And, there's Kam Man in the same mall where you can buy nori.
