well seeing as you can buy 90 non standard (36 x 24 x 24) for about 450, I don't know, I would shop around a bit more.

if that had the notching for your external over flow and any holes drilled that you need for returns, well wouldn't be to bad. check with some actual tank builders also and see what there prices are for what you want and compair them

I got my last tank custom built for $500. It was 36"x24"x20" with starphire glass on front and sides, polished edges as well as a coast to coast external overflow. I went completely rimless/braceless so the glass was thicker to compensate, it was 1/2" so I imagine 12mm if I was to order the glass myself. I would call around to get some quotes on custom built tanks as well as it seems that the glass companies are charging the same or more than an already built and drilled tank.
