yes a tank can definitely be built like that, the ones at public aquariums are much bigger then that ;)


if you mean out of glass and plastic, i dont know you would probably need very thick glass and plastic, it would probably look bad


i would say it probably can definitely be made from acrylic, theres one at my lfs that easily ten feet, and 5 feet high and 5 feet deep

those are my estimation as i dont know the actual measurements, but you could easily swim in it
 
Of cause it could be made , you just have to make sure its braced , supported correctly and that it's made out of the correct thinkness of ever glass or acrylic .

O' and when filled up full of water that it's on a floor that can propily hold it . :D
