New Tank...need input

My wife and I are moving and the house we are buying has a living room that would accomodate a long tank as a room divider.
My question is, where can we get a a tank that is all glass and about 5-6 feet long, 18"-20" deep and 20" high (or less even...like maybe even only 18" or less deep)?
I've looked at All-Glass and Oceanic, but all of their standard tanks that are about 6 feet long are just too high. I don't want a deep tank (height-wise), but I do want a long one.
Anyone know where to buy one and about how much the cost is (I'd be building the stand and hood myself)?
Thanks

HEY MARK/DAWN...
ALL-GLASS MAKES A 125...72"X18"X22"
THAT SEEMS PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT YOU WANT...
ABOUT $300 ...TANK ONLY

Yeah, that is close...but I'm really lookiing for a shallower tank yet.
I have a 65 gallon (which is 24" tall) and I find it to be a pain for what we keep. We have small cardinals, perculas, LR, and some invertebtrates.
We'd like to just get a nice school of smaller fish. Way back when I ran a pet store, we kept 40 gallon breeder tanks that were no taller than a 10 gallon. I also seem to recall a very long tank (about 6 feet long) that was very shallow, but I can't remember who manufactured it.
We'd also like to keep some corals...but lighting a shallow tank would be so much easier. I'm thinking of using the tank as a room divider, but tall is definitely out.
I'm leaning towards a 100 gallon Oceanic tank that is 72 ½ x 18 ½ x 19 ½ , which is closer to what we want.
But if anyone knows of a tank manufacturer that makes one with those dimensions, yet a bit shallower (18" or less high), let me know.
