Home Depot, Menards - and Lowe's (if you're down this way) have plexi. Any other hardware store would too.

I ordered my black plexy from www.estreetplastics.com

I used the 1/4" plexi from Menards for the baffles in my sump. Sorta pricy.

I just bought some starboard from Midland Plastics over on Ramada way, pretty cheap. I would be worth a try to give them a call (920) 336-4464 and check on plexi. They might have some drops/leftovers that could save a few bucks.

Bryan,
Midland often has extra pieces right in the office. It might be worth stopping in periodically if you are only looking for a few pieces.

I need 2 pieces one approximately 10" x 24" and a second piece 12" by 20". So a sheet 24" x 24" would be perfect.

Just regular plexi. One piece is for a skimmer table the other is going on top of my sump.
