Rounded GLASS tank?

I'm in the early planning stages of a 200-300g FOWLR (it won't be for a few years), and I'm really liking the idea of having a spherical tank with 360 degrees of visibility, with a center overflow. I understand most of these odd tanks are built with acrylic, but personally I don't care for acrylic, as it scratches way too easily and seems to yellow over time, so is there a way to build a tank like this out of glass, and if so which companies do you know of that could accomplish this? Thanks guys :fish1:
 
I have a 68 gallon half cylinder glass tank from AquaVim. They are located in NY and I had it shipped to TN. I've been very pleased with my purchase. They do have all glass cylinder reef tanks. Just a heads up they are expensive.
 
Not only that but they are seamed (2 halves) & there is not much room in the stand for a sump. Worked on one for maintenance company.
Tall cylindrical tanks can be tough because of limited surface area.

I understand, I'm not looking for a tall, gimicky looking, classical cylinder tank, I'm looking into something more wide than tall. I'm thinking maybe 8' in circumference and then 30" tall. Many tanks that are supposedly "innovative" are in fact impractical in the longterm, as proper, effective maintenance is made damn near impossible with some of these goofy tanks (looking at you 'Tanked') :rolleyes:
 
I honestly can not watch Tanked anymore, it's just too bad and their husbandry ideas are trash. Whatever pays the bills for them i guess.....
