I'm now committed! Today I signed a credit card receipt for $305 for a new 57 gallon Oceanic Illuminata rimless tank, to be set up as a riparium. That is a beautiful tank, and a bargain for a rimless tank. The glass is nicely beveled and polished at the top, and the seams have only about a tenth of an inch of silicon overlap. It is a 36" x 18" x 21" high tank, with a black bottom rim.
I am essentially done making the stand for this: see

The light fixture will be the LED fixture shown in:

But, first I need to tear down my 45 gallon tank, stand and plumbing to make room. And, order a few more planter cups from Hydrophyte.
