Building my own tank would be fun but I would have to rent/buy a welder and locate all the material and being in a little town in Northern Arizona it just isn't as easy as it should be.
I may be thinking of a different tank that hangs down pretty low. You may have seen these. They helped me do mine.

I understand. It might be a little more than a person would want to take on if you are not an experienced welder with your own equipment. It does take a good weld and some patience to get the tank air tight. I used a stick welder. I believe a person would have more pinholes if using a MIG. I didn't try it but I understand that MIG welds are more porous.
