If you like acrylic, go with either SeaClear or TruVu. My 180 gal TruVu is 20+ yrs old and not one problem along with my 75 long and 125 tanks. TruVu will custom any size tank you want.
I think tenecor must have realized that 1/2 was too thin for 30" high because a few months ago I got a quote from them for a 120"x36"x30"H and the material quoted was 3/4".
I don't believe they make 30"H tanks out of 1/2" anymore.
I have seen a 120"x24"x30"H and the amount of bowing on it was insane...really scary stuff (think water balloon).
I would personally not buy a 30"H tank made out of 1/2", especially if you plan on setting it up in your house...garage might be ok if you get a smokin' deal on it and you don't have a lot of stuff that would be damaged in the event of a blowout.
FWIW, I tried to get a quote from Truvu on a 10' tank and they said they would only do 8' long.

What do you mean by a lid without handles? Did it not have the extra strips of acrylic glued to to the sides so that it wouldn't fall through the opening, or did it just not have a handle in the middle?
My lids are just a piece of acrylic with 2 strips welded onto the the side (overlapping the edge) so that the lid sits flush in the tank. Hard to explain...here's a pic:
Here's a pic of my tenecor lids and mine had a handle added to the top of the lid....
