Glass for baffles in a sump

I thought I had read something about Home Depot having glass squares to fit a 20 gallon long sump for use as baffles. Anyone know if this is true?

Our local HD won't cut glass anymore, only sells precut/prepackaged glass.
Lowe's does and this is where I bought my baffle glass.
Only problem is that's is quite thin glass.
Everytime I bump a baffle I'm scared I'm going to break it.
Next time I will use thicker glass from a glass shop.

Bought my glass at local glass shop. They cut it to size and lightly smoothed out the edges free of charge. Went with 1/4" glass and it was about 15.00 for 5 of them. Did it this way with all my sumps so far.
