I'd check with a "big fancy office building" type general contractor in the nearest big city? Also check http://www.emachineshop.com/ but I doubt they'd go that big. Never know.

I live in Alaska, our live are shipped to us from Seattle. I'll keep looking even if I have to purchase and drive and pick-up. None of the Seattle Plastic companies returned my messages. I do have a lead on a company that can poduce a 10' Long and 48" wide by 2" thick. I keep working on it would love the 12' piece
 
Check for Glass.

have you thought about asking a aquarium look at the size of some there tanks

I don't get your point dude. :screwy:
 
Guesswho2005, How thick for the plywood? steel frame and braces? Ph can be changed from alkaline to acidic with either peat moss trickle system (time consuming), or premixing batches with white vinegar until it is at the level you want. give it some rest time as thereaction takes a few minutes. You will need to do this at every water change but at your ph the only fish that I can think of that would need this done are few breeding tetras and darters, all tiny and all bog dwellers. Don't bother, you will be fine.
 
i would love to see this done
but i was wondering why so deep 10 feet of water is alot of pressure
for swim space that may not be needed
i know nothing about what would be needed but my local aquarium
has a large amazon tank thats only about 4-5 feet deep and is stocked with some big fish most of the ones on your list
 
You could save yourself some stress if you could dig this tank into the ground 4-5'.
 
I was just saying go to your local aquarium and ask one of there workers beceause you all there tanks are custom built so the can tell you the companey who built there tank for them and they could give some good info.
