How long to make a custom tank?

Mine has the plywood bottom but I had the glass blacked out so you can't see it. You can only see the edge at the bottom which is easy to cover up.

Thanks for all the info and tips!
It's greatly appreciated.

I think I read the plywood adds stability? Is it not necessary? Or perhaps I can have it painted white first?

It adds protection to the glass bottom and it's also something to build on they can have the bottom blacked out , white or blue same with acrylics they have the matching colors as an alternative if you pay they can use acrylic sheet for the bottom
