i just picked up a 8x3x2 tank (glass) and wasn't that hard to move...not like your gonna be moving it daily...4 guys and it was pretty easy...so if you want glass go for it.

Quite a difference in weight when you go above 24" tall. The thickness of the glass required jumps way up, adding a surprising amount of weight. Add another foot in width and 2 more in length, plus the added height, a glass tank that size would require machinery to move around. Would weigh more than a ton, easily.
Might want to become a fan of acrylic if you wanna go that big, or like the other poster mentioned, do a plywood build of some sort. Would be the cheapest option.
