You don't really need marine plywood- a good exterior grade is fine.
Many people feel that if your inside paint / coating fails the wood part of the tank will need to be replaced either way, so you might as well save the money and use exterior grade plywood and use the savings to upgrade other aspects of the tank.

Even if you aren't building a corner tank like this one, it's still worth studying the article. The authors build a LOT of tanks.
