    Nanoreefer, the plywood is sealed with a two part epoxy paint. He will put either a glass or acrylic pane on the front side so you can see into the tank. Look at the Garf website where they go into detail on how to build one. Alot of the inwall tanks you see are built the same way and last for years if done right. Pretty cool project, I've got plans to build one of about 200 gallons as soon as I can. Nice job Froc!
