Are you going with "starfire" that low iron very clear glass? At 1.5 thickness youre going to see a lot of green on regular glass.
Seriously 2.5" acrylic? Are you sure? Might want to revisit the math. Especially after you price out the starfire glass. Acrylic is the way to go for large tanks IMO. Maybe 2" thickness, but again, this wont be in my house and I understand about a "safe factor".
I got a qote from a plasic company for a eight foot long four foot high sheet of two inch thick acrylic for $1300
I can give you their address as for buying anything from them I have never bought any sheets plastic sheets before for any fish tank project before but I have looked around and asked them about prices on clear sheets of aylic
1265.00ea any thing bigger then eight by four feet Any sheet wider and longer will have to be fabricated

Also Hopefully ill have the 3d modeling of my over head filter done. Right now im thinking 8 by 2 by 1. part of it (4 by 1) will be separted to hold convicts.
im sorry to admit but if i get a monster fish ill eventually want to see a live feeding. this way i have to places for convicts. a breeding pair or 2 in my 55 and the large enough not to be eaten by other convicts in the over head filter.
