Fitting it isnt going to be the biggest problem, your biggest problem will be access. I would go with a tank that is not as long so there is room to build access doors in the wall next to the tank (personally, I just find doing under the tank is a PITA).

Since you are building the wall could you build a segment that juts out a foot so you could get a 6'x3' tank (so it would be partially recessed in the wall)? For a big tank, I really like what you can do with the extra depth. This would also give you more space on the side of the tank. In general if you could even make the whole wall 3', instaed of 2', I think it would make things a lot easier.
