Made two 27 Imperial gallons (121 litres) from plywood glassed over
with standard epoxy resin. The best ply to use is cheap construction
ply as the glass adheres better. I divided my tanks into two connected
compartments with a divider/baffle to prevent the sloshing and force
of a large volume of water. Nailed the top down over thickened resin
and glassed over the join quite heavily.

No problems so far.
