Heehee....that'll save a bit of reading!
From what I can gather, they'll happily grow an inch a month.
Figure out tank requirements from that, and remember, Gigas don't turn round easy.....
 
Rounded edges are perferable.
 
Zoodiver will hopefully jump in soon, but these fish should not be kept by anything short of a crazy fish keeper. They require huge tanks, huge amounts of food, and huge amounts of filtration. They grow very fast (more than 1" per month, if I remember correctly). Zoodiver's thread should help some. I believe he recommends nothing less than 1' to start with as they are very fragile fish when small.

I think you are looking at more like 2-4" per month growth at least until they are 3'

that sounds more like it
