Cost effective, would be strong enought and it would be glass only. Once the tank is finish, you could just weld some cross brace over the top and maybe under the tank.

i see 2 problems with that. first he wants to have it earth quake proof so he wants to limit the amount of glass in the tank structure. next it is really hard to drill all the holes and make the overflows for a tank that big using glass.
