Kool, that looks very similar to my tank that I'm designing. How did you put in the plants and rocks? I couldn't find any sketches of those components.
6x6 posts cemented in the ground won't support the glass free standing like that. You'll need to tie the posts into the structure by connecting front to back or having a steel frame.

That's good feedback. I wondered about that myself but I don't know how to calculate the force that a 6x6 cemented can withstand. I imagine that there are many factors including the type of soil that they are cemented in. I Think that I will have to tie the tops back to the opposite wall. This will obstruct the top view some but it's better then having the tank fall apart.
