I am planning on making a 10 foot long tank, i am not sure how tall or deep I want to make it. I was wondering do they even make 10 foot long piece of ply wood? How do you guys join them together and seal them so they dont leak if you were to say join two 5 foot long pieces of plywood? Also another question I had, what is the best type of plywood to use? Thickness and type? im just curious because im figureing its no the best idea to use tretaed wood just incase the chemicals leach out into the water and possibly poison the fish?

IM thinking of making a 10 foot long X 3 ft X 3ft.
 
No, you will have to double up the thickness on the plywood and then stagger two 8' pieces to get the 10' span. Just get regular old plywood. The thickness would depend on the size of the tank, but I would probably go with 3/4".
