"Large" tank might be an understatement

I have a client down here in South Florida that is interested in installing a large tank in their showroom and the first dimensions they presented was 12' wide and 8' tall...so we are looking at 2,000 gallons at least. Who would you go to for building the tank? Living Color Enterprises came to mind as they are local, but what other options for large scale aquariums would you reach out to for manufacturing?

My reef creations in Lawerenceville Ga, Miracles aquariums in Canada, or Acrylic Tank Manufactures in Las Vegas are the only other places I know that make tanks that big.

They did - sorta, but they outsourced the work to Japan (per their TV show).

There's also Sealife Systems out of Jacksonville www.sealifesystems.com

That's a big tank. How wide do they want it? Remember, at 8' tall, somebody is going to have to get IN it to clean it. The cost of ongoing maintenance won't be cheap either.
