I was thinking about and looking at how you guys are building your plywood tanks but... Do you guy screw directly into each piece of plywood connecting the sides? It looks to me that screwing into the side of a piece of plywood would not hold. Anyone thinking the same?
 
it will work as long as the tank isnt to big!! like over 500gallons but still is a good idea to pre-drill your holes to prevent spliting the sheet of plywood
 
After a certen height you need to use 2x4 framing along with plywood. I know at garf.org there plywood only calculator wont let you go any taller then 36" up to 48" long and anything longer then that shouldn't be taller then 24". I built a plywood only tank that was 36" t 24"L and 24" w it held fine.
