Custom 209 gallon design...Thoughts?

Ok, so a screw up on measurements on my part lead to a fantastic new sump being built too large for my current stand under my 5' 100g. This lead me to go 1 of two routes; Build a new stand/canopy for the existing 100g (the current ones are kinda warn anyways) or 2, upgrade tanks. Here's the new tank design I came up with, based on Garf's calculator I should be able to use 1/2" material (glass or acrylic) to build it. Currently I have an email out to the same acrylic builder that did my sump to see if the tank is a project he's up for tackling.

So here's the explanation on the design, currently my 100g sits in a alcove in my living room. With the dimensions of this new tank it should bring the tank to fill that alcove. Depending on the response I get from the builder I may undertake building the tank myself out of glass. Not only because of the cost but I prefer the look of glass tanks and there aren't any local custom glass tank builders that I know of.



What do you think?

Sorry for the small size. the image on my computer is actually allot larger.

I also spoke to my acrylic builder today and it looks like i'll be going that route as the cost is just too good to pass up.
