I like the idea of the 2x4 s ,saves the hassle of working with and cutting plywood,also lining with foam cuts down on seams ,looks very solid, hope you keep us out to speed on this build good luck..

If I may ask, where did you buy the heater? That is a pretty good price for 1K watt heater.

If I were you, I would put another complete layer of 2x4s around the outside. That tank might need to be beefed up a little bit......
