best way to go about this plywood build?

[xApostle]

ok, so, after much consideration, I've decided to go for a plywood build of the dimensions,
Length - 2100mm/210cm/7'
Height - 600mm/60cm/2'
Width - 900mm/90cm/3'
Volume - 1139litres/249imperial gals

How would you guys recommend going about this build.
This is my first build so any advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated

if I was to make the tank out of brick and 1 glass pane for viewing, would that work

Are you building this inside your house. Brick would be more permanent. I think that size tank plywood would be more practical. 24" tall would not need framed walls wood would take up less space to build this size tank vs brick.

If you have a descent poured basement foundation, you can use the existing walls and floor and save a bundle on materials. This works particularly great in a corner. You don't see this method, at all really. It worked great for me as a tank this big isn't likely to ever be moved anyways.

If you want more info on this lemme know.

This is a great idea for the future. Unfortunately, I don't doubt the tank will be moved within the next 2 years

Search for a build by "green terra", good solid plans for a ply tank with no bracing, just scale back the dimensions accordingly.
