Vincent Wu is just a pseudo-identity. In higher circles he is better known as Billy G.

I am guessing $2+ million if made in China. Probably 5x-10x that if made in the USA.

Unfortunately they haven't invented transparent aluminum yet.

There is a material made for body/vehicle/aircraft armor applications that is similar to metal and can stop a .50 Cal Armor Piercing round within 1.5 inches. That is incredible to be able to stop that much kinetic force in such a small area. I don't know if it would be useful in aquarium applications due to the different stress points (constant pressure vs a single devastating impact) nor how much it would cost, or even if permission could be gotten for use in civilian applications, but it might be something to look into.

www.surmet.com also has ALON (cooyright) armor that is very similar.

Green area is my full fish room... yellow area is where the tank will be built and the red area is the tank.. was thinking of enclosing the whole tank area so I can heat tank without heating the entire room too much... gets too hot in the room if the whole room is heated to 88 degrees

In order to make room for this beast I'd be more than happy to take one of your large acrylic tanks off your hands free of charge. :) you're welcome!
