There are places that sell large fiberglass containers with viewing windows.

Slap some paint on that guy and throw it on a stand and you have a tank about half the price of a normal aquarium.

I installed 3 windows in a 4x4x2 fiberglass tub over twenty years ago and it is still holding up fine. I used a wide bead of silicone and overlapped the glass about 1.5".

I've been toying with the idea of a future plywood tank, but this sounds very enticing.
