Rimless, all side overflow Aquarium

Good Day Reef Friends

I am not sure how this is called and I couldn't find a lot of information about it.
Did someone ever build an aquarium which is extra overfilled and all the water runs on the outside of the glass down and be collected on the buttom.
I guess the edges of the tank need to be perfect or you could not look into the tank because of water movement.
Do we have some treats open, who tried something like that? Is it easy to build? what is special on it? good or bad?

I am may make a trial next spring (100Gallon). I start drawing some CAD's soon. Stand.. equitment.. glass..

Thank you

I believe you're thinking of a "zero edge" aquarium. Here's a link to a company that does that: https://zeroedgeaquarium.com/
They look great, but they are a pain to clean and maintain due to the fact you have 2 wet sides.

This Company has some expensive things which for sure can be made cheaper if you do a DIY. But i like the ideas and pictures. Thank you a lot
