Even with our 'standard' rectangular tank we not only used more than enough thickness of glass, we have eurobracing around the top (sometimes I really loathe the eurobracing though to be honest).

To the OP, best of luck to you. If I had any ability to address your questions, I would but I'm new to reef tanks. I do know enough to cringe when ppl ask me why we can't do something like they do on TANKED (some are ok) and it will be a tank in the shape of something that is not conducive for maintenance and/or the fish themselves.

I'm unsure of the intent of your 'objective'..can you explain why this objective is expected to do/be (i.e. you want to build aquariums in shapes currently not seen for fun and/or profit? You like/sell grandfather clocks and are trying to do something new or different? You've been tasked with building a special focal point for an office/business and they like aquariums?)

Many apologies if you have already specified not only your objective but also already answered 'why' at least 5 times (sufficiently answered - sometimes communication can be tricky so no offense is meant by that).

Well, my objective is to have some unique fishtank. That's it.

It's for home use. I'm not seller or doing it for profit. Rather I might ending up spending more money. Another point is the space that have. So I'm trying to make maximum use of it.

Point is, is there is a difference between a cool looking tank and an effective/safe tank. Like others have stated, you would need pretty thick glass for pressure reasons. Also as others have stated, a tank like that isn’t really healthy for the fish. Now from personal experience, my tank is 36” deep and it has its disadvantages when it comes to aquascaping & cleaning sometimes & placement of corals. I do think your idea is neat & different but I don’t see it working out the way you want & it seems like you would invest in a lot of money to learn that the hard way. But good luck to you & if you succeed can you show us pictures.

I got it bro. I'll consider all the points before going for it. And surely let you all know if I build it.

No one said it couldn't, just that you need to use proper glass.

For what it's worth, that aquarium you linked on the first page isn't made of glass, it is acrylic.

You need to use the right size glass. That is also braced with metal.

You have had the answer given to you both threads you posted on this. It can be done. Just not with cheap glass.

you are by all means welcome to do it I just have three words

Filling Video, please?

It could make a pretty cool vivarium. Maybe with some dart frogs or day geckos. Nice and colorful and tropical! But again, clean up and weekly maintenance ... ugh
