Any idea of the approximate cost? Thanks for your help too.

We are also installing 8' solid core doors that are pocket/ barn door style. We use heavy aluminum tracks that come with heavy duty trucks from Hafele. Great product to work with.

So I went to Windsor Plywood this morning and ordered up a 10' bypass door double track assembly for only $130 so I'm happy with that. Capable for up to 200 lbs. They said they also use it for barn doors too. Thanks for your help everyone. Much appreciated.

Default track

you might want to mount a 1x4 or a strip of 3/4 plywood to your ceiling first,then mount the track.it will be stronger in the long run

I'm going to have to figure out a way to square up the part of the roof I'm mounting the track to. The roof slopes downwards perpendicular to the tank and tracks.

Default slope

depending on how much slope.you can make an A-frame with some angled studs,and cover it with door skins.you could always wire it and plug your lights in depending on how much room you have
