What would be the maximum tank length you could safely go for if it was built from acrylic?
I've seen 8ft or 96 inches thrown around but is there any reason for this or could I go bigger?

It's really driven by cost. Acrylic comes in 8x4 sheets and it becomes more expensive to go beyond those sheet sizes. Also, obviously the deeper the tank the thicker you have to go which very quickly increases cost.

Just a thought on price. Here acrylic sheets at half inch are- 1/2" 8 X 4'- $360, 8' X 5' was like $500 something, and 120" X 80" 1/2" was $990 per sheet
