I used Pratt & Lambert epoxy paint for the waterproof coating on all the inside plywood walls. The grain lifted slightly on the plywood I used and over time the epoxy coating cracked and oozed. I've not researched it, but were I to do this again, I'd want a plywood that doesn't lift the grain. Maybe luan, hardwood ply like poplar or even marine grade. I did use hardwood ply on an ATO reservoir that I built using the same epoxy paint - and I'm still using that, 23 years later.
