has anyone had any experience on building one?

im just doing some research right now but eventually want to build around a 1000 gallon tank. dont know how large that would be. i dont know how to configure that math. was thinking around like 15' long 2' deep and 2' height. maybe that size would be smaller than 1000 gallon but if someone could help with the configuration or tell me how to do the configuration that would be great. what size thickness would hold that? would i need 1" or would it be able to be still good with like 1/2" since its 10 times stronger than glass?

also does anyone know any good sites that explain to you how to build an acrylic tank? i think ive found a few distribution places that sell acrylic pretty decently cheap but if someone has anywhere they could mention that would help.
