I built this tank myself. I turned out OK for the most part. I hit a few snags along the way but all in all I am happy with the results.
New 360 gallon.

The dimensions are 96x24x36 (lxwxh). The biggest problem I had was getting air pockets that wouldn't go away no matter how fast I went back and attempted to fix them with solvent. I ended up re-sealing the entire tank with a mixture of shavings I saved form drilling holes for the plumbing, and solvent. It made a thicker, syrup-like mixture which I used to seal the whole tank one edge at a time. This is a time consuming process so keep lots of beer on hand. You have to elevate each end seperately and allow 1 hour dry time before moving on to the next seam.
It took me a couple of months but that included building the stand, tank and sump. I built it on my days off. Its all pine construction using white oak stain and covered in varathane.
