Default Urgently need 2" Gate Valve!

Man you would think this would be easier to find! I have called 4 different plumbing supply stores and about 4 hardware stores and none have a simple 2" Gate Valve! None of the aquarium shops seem to stock anything bigger than 1.5" either. I really need this tomorrow...anyone have any ideas of where I can find one???

Could you put in the knife valve but rig your plumbing that it could be easily removed (and replaced with gate) in find you don't have good control?

Well I was thinking that but it makes things a bit more complicated. I spoke to a plumber today who said knife valves are are very accurate but he also does not know anything about tank plumbing. I have no idea how it would work...

Have you tried Corix Water Products? They special ordered for me a lot of the things I needed, including some Spears Gate valves. The largest I purchased was only 1.5" though.
