I was about to buy the acrylic to build a tank a few months ago about 150G actually and it was going to be WAY more expensive than just buying one from a shop. Acrylic sheets alone (decent quality ones that you can use for tanks) were about $350-400 for a 4x8 sheet. I basically was looking at over $1200 alone for the acrylic. Not really worth it IMO. Im not sure about glass but it gets really expensive when you need thick glass. The shallower (height) the tank is, the thinner the glass you can use though.
Hope that helps in some way but unless your going over 220G, I would just buy one from a retail store or look used. That is unless this needs to be custom for some reason???
