Greetings MFK.
Been a member for awhile but this is my first post ever.
Would like your thoughts on the cost of DIY a 300+ plywwod tank vs. a premade all glass version. Thanks for your pros and cons of each friends!

Your question is way too general. It's possible to build a diy 300gl tank for a few hundred bucks, or a few thousand depending on a million factors. Generally 3-400gl is around where it becomes more cost effective to build a 'nice' tank instead of buying a premade one.
