1000 - 2000 gallon tank build

[tigrey]

i am planning on doing a 1000 to 2000 gallon diy tank, but before i do it i have some questions i need answered. where i am putting the tank there is concrete flooring, can i sacrifice the stand for my tank for more tank room? instead of making a stand the tank is going to start from the floor if you get what i mean. does anyone have any diy plans for 1000 or 2000 gallon tank build? i also wanna get one piece of glass, because i only have a certain amount of money, whats the smallest size (thickness) of glass i could get. i just need it on one side. if someone could help me that would be great.
thanks

Look at my 4300 build. I started at the floor and built from there.

What's your budget for glass/acrylic?

What size viewing window did you want?

What size room is this going in?

What's the floor plan for the room?

Is the tank viewed from another room i.e. like mine built in the wall or is it viewed from within the room it will be built in?
