Im thinking of doing this however I dont know what wood to use because it will be kept in doors and I dont no if treated plywood and wood is safe for indoor use, ive heard it can let fumes off and make you sick etc. so heres a link to lowes for the plywood. I think I have to use 3/4" unless anyone would recommend a different thickness and who had success doing this?

Or if you can just tell me if pressure treated lumber of any kind is safe or if regular non treated playwood would be fine for the tank.
 
okay do the people that make these indoors use regular wood and use the epoxy to seal it from water?
 
You can use various sealing methods. I'm planning a build as we type. I'm using regular 3/4" Plywood and Epoxy but I know that there are lots of folks that use Pond Armor and other methods as well.
 
ah okay. im just wanting to get a plan together for whenever I move out
