I've seen a few videos on YouTube of guys doing something similar to that. It looks amazing!
I think the biggest issue is, is the glass thick enough on the 6ft tanks to cope with all the additional water pressure? You don't want a tank that huge bursting open.
Also, you'd have no choice but to build it where it's going to be placed.

That would essentially be tripling the pressure on each pane of glass. I highly doubt they'll stand up to it.
