This is what we need here in the u.s. !!

Australian tank..I'm guessing its about 8ftx2ft
I bet it's cheaper than all glass and easier to deal with..
Like the sides being a little obscured...great place to have a lagoon like area..
It won't happen here -I'm sure.

I believe one of the companies I got a quote from did combo glass and acrylic tanks. Don’t recall the name atm

They make pools like that in the us. I don’t see why you couldn’t do that with a tank very easily.

Im confused at why you think its not possible in the us...anything is possible here...plenty have made plywood tanks with a viewing window...

Kind of looks like a "holding tank."

I'm talking about a commercial tank Mfr like marineland or aqueon making something like that .. or even AGE ,miracles,etc

You wont see it for sale here is what I mean.

If they do their research, they'll probably find that there is no mass market for it.

I’m an Aussie, and whilst this looks very functional and I am sure it suits retailers etc very well, and possibly some hobbyists as holding or hospital/quarantine tank (as previously suggested), there is no way I would ever consider this in my house as a DT. Apart from the industrial construction it is much too low and would need to sit on a bench of some sort.

Yes that would give you room to fit a sump underneath, but at this point either buy or make a proper stand with a more esthetically pleasing tank.
