Sorry your not getting a response, it may be because most of this info is in the other threads.

Plywood thickness depends on bracing designs.

Sealer can be fiberglass resin / sanitred /pond armor and drylock if you use backer board inside the tank.

Safe bet on the glass is 3/4".

Cost? go local or the internet plus shipping.

Check the indoor pond section too.
