Problem with going with acrylic though is I don't think you can get an open top like that.

The tank started as an 11 foot long 3 foot wide rectangle then i bowed out both sides, Im not sure about how viewable it would be, I know that bow fronts are bad to look at but you have to move around you can't really pull up a chair and stare. it would be interesting to see how it would work.
I think that the acrylic would support and open top but i think i would have to use a massive eurobrace with perhaps a cross brace or two in it. I don't think it would have to be enclosed fully otherwise you wouldn't be able to put anything in it.
