the plywood/epoxy route is a good one, but to be cost effective, making a big tank (>75 gallons) is ideal...i have made a bunch and the advantage is they are easy to customize...need a hole, just drill it and install bulkhead...

i have also used rubbermaid troughs from local agways...the 50 gallon are better as they are more shallow..

i think the shallow tanks work best, as you don't need as much light to penetrate
