I guess we don't have a lot of do-it-yourselfers on this forum. There are quite a few resources online. For example: http://www.austinglass.com.au/aquariums.html

Keep us updated on your project. I'm interested to see how it turns out. Good luck.

Unless you've already got the glass and aquarium sealant, it's much cheaper to buy that size of tank than it is to build it. For example, I found my 55 gallon tank (4 feet long, just like the tank you want to build) for $25 on craigslist.org. I've seen 125 gallon tanks on there for $100 twice.

As natalie265 mentioned, there are a lot of resources online about building tanks. You would probably benefit the most from going to youtube.com and typing in 'Build Aquarium' and watching people do it on video. It's easier to learn when shown than when talking about it.
