Buying standard 1/2" glass with polished edges 28" x 28" is $118 for each panel....looking at approximately $600 if I build it myself.

Not sure if I'm willing to build my own tank simply because I've never done it before.

For the ones who have built their own tanks..........any advice will be helpful.

Thanks!
As indicated above, check out Concept... I have seen posts where dealing with them was cheaper than dealing locally, even with shipping included. Can't hurt to call them up and ask.
