Answer 1

Here is a link on ask.com about building a fish tank and a parts list. Seems mare expensive than just buying one but if you've got the time and $.

Your best bet is to check with a supplier.  Most simply contract the metal frames to a fabricator and get them made to size, they buy glass from any glass supplier, and then make them.

As for contacts, have you tried the yellow pages ;)

I'm pretty confident you're not in my city so any info I give you would be worthless.
