So, I've started to think about getting either an aquarium or a terrarium but I'm not sure which one to go for. I'm good with either, but I lean towards the terrarium because of reasons I'll mention in a moment. I have not chosen any animals yet.
I want to built in the tank into my bookshelf. The bookshelf is divided into 2 rows with 4 colons, and I want the tank to fill 2 squares, as seen on the pictures I've added below. A number of potential issues:
Specific dimensions
Weight
Space for required hardware to run the tank
The division of the rooms are easily removed, that's not gonna be a problem.
Dimensions(2 rooms/squares):
H: 385mm
W: 688mm
D: 395mm
Would it be best, and would I even be able to find, a prebuild tank with those dimensions or should I "just" build it myself? If I have to build it myself, what would I need?
I'd like to have something that doesn't take a lot of maintenance.

The bookshelf leans against the wall behind it, supported by.. metal rods(Dunno what they're called, pic related. They're screwed almost all the way out) It is also screwed to the wall 3 places, also pic related.
Access to the inside of the tank (aquarium)Space for required hardware to run the tank
