Woah, buddy... I just finished doing a DIY 200 thanks... I know what's involved in building a tanks, and I'm sick of threads like "I'm building a 8x8x8 foot tank next week, what should I build it out of?"

If you're actually going to build this tank, more power to you buddy, but you have a LOT more research to do if your first question is "what should I make this out of?" Do some reading and you'll find the answers. Most people who are actually serious enough to carry through have already done this level of research and have questions of a slightly less vague nature.

Sorry if I'm wrong, I'm not trying to put you down personally, but this DOES smell a lot like a lot of other threads by 12 year old kids planning to build a monster tank with 5 sheets of plywood and some hot glue. That's all.

Since you asked for pics... here is my almost finished 200. You can make a nice tank with wood if you're willing to put in the time. Something as large as you're talking, I'd probably go concrete.
