Whereabouts do you live?
If in the US fish tanks direct in Florida made my 10x3x2.5 560 gal acrylic tank. They have a custom tank calculator on their site & ship nationwide. 36-40” tall would be very difficult to scape and clean. I would recommend 40”D if you have the space and 30”T but that’s just me.
A glass tank that size would be crazy heavy, and once scratched cannot be resurfaced like an acrylic can.

Fishtanksdirect has the 120Lx36Dx36H. I would do acrylic. All my tanks are acrylic from fishtanksdirect, including my 750gal 120" x 48" x 30".
I had fishtankcsdirect build me a 10' x 4' x 30" tank and a wet dry and also a 50 gallon auto top off tank for me
I would stick with acrylic just for the weight of it . mine just took 4 guys to move it around.
is your tank going to be freshwater or salt, I might want to sell my tank with my fish it is freshwater

Both Glass Cages in Dickson, TN and Custom Aquariums in Neenah, WI have these sizes in glass, should you decide to go that route. I have a 130Lx36Dx36H from Glass Cages and am very pleased with it.
