To clarify my previous post ...
The biggest cost for me was the glass. The thickness of the glass is only determined by the height of the water. Not the width or length of the tank. Once you get above 3 feet in height the price of glass becomes very expensive.
I made a written journal of my progress, with lots of pics so dial-ups beware.
