Plywood tank with 2 viewing windows?

[Grisley]

I am new to these forums but have been lurking around and taking advantage of all of the wonderful information here.
Anyway, in all of my searching on these forums and on the web i have not been able to find any information on building a plywood tank with two opposite viewing windows (one on each long wall of the tank) making it possible to see through the aquarium to the other side. I am wanting to build this as a room divider but still have visibility to the other side of the room. I think that tis design would be ok in terms of strength but was just curious if anyone has tried this or seen it before. Not being able to find even a picture of one has made me think that there is some reason not to attempt this.

i have built a tank with three windows (one front and one on each side) currently i am building a 300 gallon tank with a front and a side window. biggest thing is to ensure your frames are strong enough and to support the glass

Just build the back viewing window the same as the front. And like rotccapt said make sure everything is strong enough.

i would and have (on my corner window tank (here http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?491431-200g-ply-wood-build) add bracing to the top and fibreglass all the corners including the corners created by the bracing.
i am also fiber glassing the entirety of the tank instead of using pond paint etc

if you need any more info ill be glad to help. i
