Even shops in the States who are usually much cheaper than glass had a brain fart when I showed them the design.

Price was very close to the same.
I wanted to actually do a bullnose end on the tank but the fact that it would be a 2 ft radius curve meant it would look like a huge magnifying glass and distort everything. If I went bigger than a 2 ft radius curve we wouldn't get it into the house.
So we went with glass with beveled edges. |
What he meant was you could take PVC pipes and build a shelf structure. Not acrylic
