There are also sites online you can have pieces custom cut length and width, along with thickness, I have 3 tanks done like this, its the only way for me to go at this point.

I have that too, it's more for building and structural strength, reflected by the cost, ABS sheeting is cheaper and easier to find in larger sizes I think. I prefer ABS for this application.I order King Starboard from BoatOutfitters

Just remember whatever you get won’t look the same in six months. If you’re going for black or sand color for the color, it will be covered in coralline quick.
That's exactly how I do mine with black aquarium silicon, and about 40lbs of weights on it for 3-4 days....it works just fine...here's my newest tank where I went with a 1/16" gap all the way around..
The biggest reason to do this, is the coraline algae builds allot faster on the abs and I think it kick starts the tank that much faster, and the protection of the glass, corals grow to it easier, I just like having something on the bottom besides bare glass.
