Is it possible to custom make a small tank yourself?

I have a grand plan in my head for my 120 stand and I was wondering if its possible to custom make a 15ish gallon tank. Maybe not me personally, but possibly a local glass shop. Do you need special silicone/tools? It would seem, to me at least that it shouldn’t be too hard to pull off. What are your opinions?

im not sure how hard it would be but you would need like a jig of some sort to hold it all to gether when you are siliconing it. but no special tools, just silicone and the back of a spoon...

Thanks that’s what I wanted to hear. Looks like I’m going to be calling some local glass shops to get some prices.
