Multiple glass pane bottomed tanks?

I believe all Elos tanks are constructed from multiple pieces that way.

People make plywood tanks, so why could'nt you make a plywood bottom and glass sides? Just an Idea

He didn't tell you about his glass-bottomed, ply-sided cube fiasco? I don't think he wants to combine those materials again.

This is something I've wondered too. More specifically why don't people use cheaper acrylic for the bottom pane? Cheaper and lighter. You don't see the bottom pane anyway.
