longest manufactured tank?

What is the longest manufactured tank, and who makes it?

I think for 'standard' tanks 10-12 ft is about all you get with one sheet. There is at least one sight that sells them up to 30' but its multiple panes.

Someone here had a half circle tank made in Germany or England. The front pane on the tank was 16-20' long and one piece of glass. Totally amazing. It was tank of the month a couple of years ago.

i believe 128" is the longest non custom glass sheet length. as of stock tanks I think a 300/g which is 8' long also the 72”x36”x27” Marinland 300 DD

I think 10' is as long as they come

I am not sure what You mean as in the tank as in all 4 glassses or just a single pannel but
The Dubai Mall is an insanely large shopping mall, located in Dubai UAE, But most fascinating of all is the 10-million liter Dubai Aquarium tank, located on the Ground Level of The Dubai Mall, which is the largest suspended aquarium in the world.
The main Aquarium tank, measures 51 meters (167ft) in length, 20 meters (66ft) in depth and 11 meters (36 ft) in height The Acrylic is actually 70cm thick. It houses over 33,000 aquatic animals, comprising over 140 species. Over 400 Sharks and Rays live in this tank, including the largest collection of Sand Tiger Sharks in the world.

This tank has surpassed the Chirabumi okinawa Japan as the biggest Pannel Aquarium the World, which is famous for housing 3 Whale Sharks and Manta Rays.

Both the Acrylic pannels were manufactured by the same company they are the leading in this field as they have discovered a adhasive which is completely transparent which joins all the layers also they use a process which assembles the pannels on site to achieve this amazing length. I saw a program on the making of them both on discovery channel.
I hope this helps

Hello,

Someone here had a half circle tank made in Germany or England. The front pane on the tank was 16-20' long and one piece of glass. Totally amazing. It was tank of the month a couple of years ago.

This is Pieter van Suijlekom's tank:
