This will be an outdoor tank and I was wondering what to use glass or acrilic?

I want to build it this summer. I haven't decided anything other than the size. Any suggestions on materiels?
I am thinking about concrete block.
A UV sterilizer for algea control
I have a swimming pool pump, but would need to build a filter.
 
Use acrylic glass it is very tough for this size of tank or you can combine concrete and acrylic if you want. Seek professional advise about this project of yours, well we can see it is very huge.
 
Wow, very big 2400 gallons. What type fish would you keep in this?

its going to take a serious heater to heat that in the winter, what do you plan to use? or do you plan on taking the fish out in the winter?

I am still reserching that. I am hoping to isulate it well. So far I am looking at 3 1000 watt heaters with each set at a lower temp that the other so that the colder it gets the more heaters activate.

Any advice welcome.
