I think most any type of acrylic sheeting ought to work, as long as it's not super thin. There's even places you can go on the internet to buy cut-to-order pieces.

I think most home improvement stores should have sheets of plastic, too, if you don't mind cutting everything yourself.
What you can do is get the acrylic or glass cut to the size you want. Then check out Aqua Medic around the net. They have a pvc "gate" section you can glue to the top of the cut piece you have. The "gate" or screen portion..if you will..will be removable for cleaning. We did similar years ago with Dupla tanks while in the USA

You could try making a DIY over flow comb by using a section of the plastic strip that is found on the back of glass tops/canopy. You would of course cut the comb's teeth to the necessary width and depth. The plastic strip has a "clasping edge" that you can use to mount onto the top of the overflow.
