the places I've seen w/ large indoor tank have used either reinforced conrete or cinderblocks as walls and 1 or 2 viewing panels made out of thick arcylic. The filtration and pumps are provided by pool equipment.
If you look back a few yrs here you'll find a guy named mr4000 and he had a 4000gal tank in his basement.
If you've got lots of cash you can have a "regular" acrylic tank built to you dimiensions. Problem is they'll most likely have to build on site.
Lastly, go to the forum here called large & big reef tank, you'll find some folks who have 500-200 gal tank in their homes

Unless you have some good cunstruction experiance I wouldn't try it . 2000 gallons of water can make a big mess.

Bad grammar. Two first names ARE confusing.

Scott's book is great,I am not saying anything against him, in fact I wholly encourage anyone who is even thinking about keeping a shark or ray to read it. I was referring to that first link that was posted.
