DIY 150 Gallon Aquarium, help!?
So I am building a Acrylic 150 gallon aquarium, it will be fresh water and the measurements are 260 centimeters by 80 centimeters by 50 centimeters. In inches it is 102 inches by 31 inches by 19 inches. I don’t know how many sides will be glass and how many sides will not be. If it is possible I will have all 4 sides glass, except for the bottom and top 
. So what I need help with is very simple step by step instructions, I need it to be simple because I am not an expert in this area. I also need the a list of the material needed. If some one can do these 2 things for me I would highly appreciate it, also how much do you think this aquarium will cost, this excludes the rental of the equipment, the things that I want the price of are the glass, the bottom/top/sides that are not glass. Thanks for all the help every one 
Using glass and acrylic is extremely difficult, I think there is only one tank manufacturer that does this.
I would suggest either doing all glass or all acrylic. Typically building a tank costs a little more than it would to buy one.
