I would have a hard time trusting plywood tanks...

Like billy said, plywood tanks are stronger than glass if built correctly but longevity is where you run into leak issues. Longest I've heard of a plywood tank staying operational is around 5 years, whereas I have a 125 gallon that was built in 1994 and still running strong.

I would have a hard time trusting plywood myself. The tank I have is not a plywood home DIY job, it is built like a tank, the kind of thing that you would use in a commercial aquaculture setting. I have had it running since 1999, and I have no difficulty thinking it could run to 2024 without skipping a beat.

I've seen the pics wit water n it, not a bad tank at all, kinda like the fiber tank that Richard has at Beltway Aquarium with the piranhas, only longer & taller, instead of baby blue color that Richard has on his fiber tank this tank is brown/black in color, but I would trust a fiberglass tank b4 I would trust a wood tank, the fiberglass is normally a one piece mode together tank than the 6/7 pieces of wood nailed together which has potential to leak over time, that's my take on it but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
