Obviously, you could just use the same material that you would use for a tank of the same size, but that seems like overkill since the baffles offer significant reinforcement. Could I just consider each chamber a separate tank and select material that would be adequate for the largest chamber?
I'm looking into building a 25"x16"x16"H sump with a 12" baffle about 10" from one end and another baffle perpendicular to that so that the other 2 chambers are one behind the other. Essentially the baffles would form a "T." This makes the largest chamber 16"x10"x16"H and the other chambers 15"x9"x16"H and 15"x7"x16"H. Baffles would be probably 12" high with weirs cut into them in appropriate locations. Water level would be no more than 11" but, of course, I would want it to be strong enough to be brim full in case of any failure that could cause it to overflow.
