A LFS near me sells these tanks. In person, the tank is a lot smaller than it looks in pictures. The tank itself is only 13 gallons, and really only seems large enough for baby clams once a sandbed is added. Also, after seeing the tank in person, I would not put anything mobile (fish, anemones, snails) in the tank for fear that it would take a ride over the side of the tank.
With all of that said, I still think the tank is really cool and would buy one in a heartbeat if I had the disposable income!
Here is a picture A Splash of Life (the LFS I referred to earlier) took of one of their Zero Edge tanks.

Another good type of aquarium for clams is an acrylic tank with it's front pane sloped 45 degrees. These come in much larger sizes (another LFS near me has one that it displays corals in that I'd estimate is somewhere in the 75 gallon range) and looking through the 45 degree pane allows you to see the spectacular colors of the clams that you see in lookdown tanks.

Robchuck's pretty much covered it. All I could add is that you could very easily have a tank maker like glasscages.com make you one to your specs, and strategically place the aquarium lower for top viewing. Hook yourself up with a simple hanging pendant and you're set!

Thanks you two. The 45° sloped on is the one I was trying to locate. If you know of a website shoot me a line.
