A DIY front on a tank that size would be tough. I don't think there is any way you could hinge a piece of glass that big and heavy. Acrylic may work, but you'd probably have to screw any type of hinges as opposed to trying to silicone them.

You'd also need to consider vents. On my 10 gal verts, window sreening repair kits work awesome to create various sized vents above my front panel.
