I wish build 78 inch plywood tank, but search answers.
In my country few people build this type of tank, is new method for us.

First question: lifespan? is similar of glass tank?

Type of wood for construction?
Most people use poplar, is good chose?

Internal coat: what material?
I reed fiberglass, epoxy paint, liquid rubber, liquid pond liner.
I think use liquid pond liner because is easy to apply with brush or roller.
I see some people reinforce the corner with tissue like fiberglass.
Good method for make the corner?

For stck glass?
I know the silicone not is good for all material, some people suggest use special silicone like 3M for nautical use, or interpose epoxy glue.

Thanks for answers :p:
