a few options on sealing a plywood tank -

1) epoxy paint
2) fiber glass
or some combo of epoxy paint and fiberglass....

I've also heard of people using pond liner or sheets of plastic (or clear acrylic) butted up against the sides glued on with silicon (I personally wouldn't reccomend this method, but i have heard it done before!).
